Not sure if it was covered as I haven't read all 101 posts yet, but one thing to remember about fonts is if we are using them as text on a webpage, not everyone will necessarily see the font we use- expecially if we create a special font. If no one else has the font, then no one else will see it. Putting fancy fonts on an image is another story.

I have seen some sites with specialized fonts make the font available for download so that if you really want to, you can see the page as the person wants you to see it.
