You will need to use an alternative technique to embed the font in your web pages.

Some of the popular methods out today include the Flash-based sIFR[^], the SVG/VML/Canvas-based Cufon[^], and the @font-face CSS attribute.

Smashing magazine has an article from a while back that does a survey of a number of the available options for rich web typography: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/10/22/rich-typography-on-the-web-techniques-and-tools/[^]
