The font designer doesn't have to do anything. The web page designer
has to use the product, and the browser has to have Flash installed
and Javascript enabled. The latter fits about 99.5% of the general
public, but in an audience of nerds and grumps like this, the number
will be lower.

The demo on the page uses absolute sizes (in px) for the object, which
means that the letters stay the same size when the page is resized (in
IE and FF at least). Might be better if they'd use em sizing.
