Web fonty help!

[faithellen]

I'm just poking about embedding fonts, but my references are all a little old. Anyone got a lead on what process to use so that it will be read in IE and Firefox (anything else would be gravy)?

Never done this before, so as idiot-proof as you can get is much appreciated. FWIW, the font I think I want to use is a .ttf.

EDIT -- Actually, if you've got a link to a site that displays fonts already recognized, that would probably be the best way to go. I'm using stylesheets, and so far the boss hated Trebuchet and Monaco.

Not exacttly what you're looking for, I know...

Dude, that's a great answer. :) Much better now than when I've actually DONE it.

I switched it up to a serifed font, and he seems to like better -- am expecting a call from him momentarily to get his next instructions.

Oh good :) I wasn't going to get preachy on you about the whole embedded font thing, since that's not the question you asked - but I actually totally agree with that thread.
