RE: Obscure Font needed

On the other hand, there is something to be said for controlling the 
appearance of a page, and for getting out of the 
Times/Helvetica/Arial box.

A text passage, using a distinctive font, can be saved as a gif, in 
which case the fonts installed in the viewer's system is irrelevant. 
There will be a (hopefully small) price in download time, which has 
to be factored into the equation. There may be other concerns: e.g., 
text as a gif also will not be read by AltaVista.

The font also, of course, has to be one that looks good on screen, 
and in the point size used. Some fonts look good in print, but don't 
translate that well to the screen.

Even if a distinctive font is not used for the body text, it may be 
used for headings, buttons, navigation bars, etc..
