Heh. I know them. Fortunately I don't have anything server-side so the change to unlimited diskspace and bandwidth was great for me :)

If I understand embedded fonts, they don't involve any server-side work at all. The user-- that is, the unsuspecting human user's browser-- downloads them just as they'd download an image, and from there on it's got nothing to do with you.

But I gotta ask: The various forms of DejaVu are, individually, very large font files. Not as jaw-droppingly immense as the ones containing the whole CJK block, but definitely up there. (Based on Sort By Size and rough eyeballing, about ten times as big as your average-- median, not mean-- font file.) The character design is intentionally pretty generic, and I'm pretty sure it's standard with the Windows OS. Do you really need it?

Well, you definitely can't describe the other three as "generic" :)

I should be used to it by now, but it sure is unnerving to enter a font name into the g### search box and have this very thread-- age, less than two hours-- jump up in the #1 position :o
