I would like to use a font on my web page. (this one to be precise)

This font is obviously not on everybodys computers.

Is font embedding even possible? It sounded like its not from what I read.

Another option for me would be a PHP script that writes out the text in my font and outputs an image. Is this a good option? Is that putting too much pressure on one file? There would be multiple uses on each page.

Are there any other methods? And what do people prefer?

You can use the CSS3 @font-face rule,

ok, well then here's another issue, web browsers suck at displaying fonts

in photoshop, there's an equal space in between each letter. in firefox, some are 2px, some are 0px, and it just looks terrible. am I doing something wrong, or are there just some fonts that don't work on the web?
