if you want, you can use the weft tool:

http://www.microsoft.com/typography/web/embedding/weft3/

it's not perfect and there are good reasons to use your unusual font only in
graphics that serve as headings and a more "universal" font for the majority
of the site, but it does work.
http://nedp.net/newh/august/
http://nedp.net/newh/xmas
both make use of the technology. I was willing to do this because the
people who would be visiting the site were a "known" audience and the vast
majority of them had the right browser for this technique to work, the
others would see a "default" font, just like your friend's times new roman.
this is not something I'd recommend for a whole site.

what kind of site is it that you've got that font going on? I'd like to
see.

TrueRes is a unique and straightforward standards-based
approach to adding the capability of using any font on any
web page - and the web page visitors will see the page
just as you have designed it. TrueRes supports IE and
Netscape on all Windows platforms. The TrueRes Packager
makes this process extremely simple. Choose the TrueType
or OpenType font of your choice, package it and upload to
your server (all handled by the Packager). Then select
that font(s) as the display face for your web page and
VOILA' - you have a TrueRes enabled web site!

Doesn't work on Macs? Seems hardly useful, then....

have you used it extensively? Do you think it's better than windows WEFT
tool?

Have tried both. Used WEFT for several years with mixed
results. Usually didn't work as well as I would have
liked. Put a bunch of extraneous code in my page as well.
Tried TrueRes and seems to be easier and does what it says
without the garbage.

It's ActiveX, so it will not work on Macs.

It requires a local installation of this ActiveX control, so SP2 is going to
have something to say about that.

How could it be useful?
