To distribute font outside your organization you must use font embed
technology. This article explains how to embed fonts to be browsed by
Internet Explorer and Netscape navigator. To find out how to embed fonts in
Office or Adobe documents, click here.
Please note that you must have the perpetual license to distribute
documents within or outside your organization. Read
license agreement for more information.
Unfortunately here Netscape and Microsoft take different approaches to
embed font files. If your web page targets both browsers, you need to
present different code pieces based on the browser type.
Embed a Font for viewing in Internet Explorer
Please note that only IE4.0 or above have the capability to web pages
with embedded fonts. Here are the steps:
Prepare an EOT (embedded Open Type) for the font you want to embed using
Web Embeding Fonts Tool (WEFT). The WEFT can be downloaded at
Microsoft Typography site. Link the EOT to web pages using CSS STYLE tag:
<HEAD>
<TITLE>My Page</TITLE>
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!-- @font-face { font-family: “MRV Code39MA”;
font-style: normal; font-weight:normal;
src: url(http://www.mysite.com/fonts/mrv39ma.eot);
}
-->
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
Embed a font for viewing in Netscape
This viewing capability is only available for Netscape 4.01 and later
versions. Prepare a PFR ( Portable Font Resource) for the font you wish to
embed using several tools such as
HexWeb typography. Prepare your web page like this:
<HEAD>
<TITLE>My Page</TITLE>
<LINK REL=FONTDEF SRC="/fonts/mrv39ma.pfr">
</HEAD>

Express can be found
