Besides the technical
issues, there are IP ones: Adobe doesn't want you to take one of their
fonts that you have to pay for and put it someplace that anyone can
download it - for free - automatically! - just by looking at your
page.

That disgusts me. If that's the *only* thing standing in the way,
that would really make me upset. The music industry is still
surviving even though thousands of people download it illegally--
ditto with the motion picture industry. Some have embraced
it, and tried to get it to work to their advantage. These are
*fonts*. If people cared, they could get them illegally via any
P2P service, anyway. I hope this becomes standard some time
in my lifetime (how nice it would be not to have to create .gif's
of every single glyph I wanted to include...).
