the problem with pre-loading adobe fonts is that they require the adobe font
manager, or whatever that ATM program is in order to install/view the fonts.
which essentially means that the only way to make sure everyone will see
your fonts properly, or even the majority of people, is to make them graphic
images.

Subject: Pre-Loading Fonts for the average Consumer


Hello everyone.

I have a question about using fonts that are unique to Adobe products. We
are currently designing a site in Flash using the Nuptial Script font. I
realize that if the person viewing the page does not have the font loaded on
their machine, they will not see the correct font or format. The thing is,
this is the best font we have seen to work with the site. Is there a way to
preload the font onto the viewers browser from the server? 

Thanks in advance for your help.

T.
