I'm not positive, but aren't the fonts more of a client/user thing rather 
than a browser thing?  I mean if you use a font that the viewer doesn't 
have in their computer, it doesn't matter what browser they're using... 
they still won't be able to read it.  But if you use a font that they do 
have in their computer, both IE and NN can read it.  I think that's the 
reason people make graphics, not because of the browser... but because 
there's no way to be sure that every viewer has the font that you're 
using... unless you use only standard fonts, which gets pretty boring.

Now.. keep in mind that this is what I've always thought and assumed.  If 
I'm wrong about this I hope someone will correct me.
