Within reason, you can use sIFR (http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/sifr/). It shouldn't be used for body text, but for things like headings and uniquely formatted text, it works great.

You should have a good reason for implementing it where you choose to. For other fonts that are common on some systems and not on others (helvetica vs. arial, for example), you should specify multiple fonts within the HTML (http://www.kingsley-hughes.com/tech/web/design/fonts.php).

Use siFR like I suggested above. You need access to Flash for it to work (or someone might be able to create the flash bit for you). The distributable archive on the page I linked to has all the assets (images, js, css, swf) that you need for it to work.

It's by no means a simple technique. But if the font is pertinent to your design, it's the only dynamic way.

or use images.
