[FM Discuss] "ReadingAndSugar" now pimped with drop caps, please publish

[John Curwood]

Just out of curiosity, since reading this thread, I've come across
reference to an @font-face css rule, which allows a browser to download
a font off a server to display locally as it would for images or flash
files.  Has anyone had experience with this?  Could it be used on an
HTML version of a Booki book or FM manual?

Cheers,

John
