The newest version of Apple's Safari web browser supports CSS Fonts. What that means in plain English is that if you're using Safari 3.1 for Mac or Windows, it can display web pages in typefaces not already on your computer. It does this by fetching the font from an internet location the page designer specifies.
If you're using Safari 3.1, the titles on my posts should appear in a font called Jayne Print Hand. Otherwise, they'll still be in Georgia, which is a font that comes installed on Macs and Windows PCs.
If you're using OS X, you already have Safari, of course, and will be prompted to download the update. If on a PC, you can get Safari for Windows here. Safari is noticeably faster than other browsers, and as of this posting, has the highest score for the Acid3 test for accurately rendering complex web pages.
