I already posted this question in a thread in the Plugin forum, but i repost it here now because i think "General discussions" suits my question more.

When using TinyMCE, you can choose between some fonts. What do I have to do if I want to use more fonts. Can a upload any fonts, or are there only a limit of fonts available for usage on the web. And how do I get them to appear in TinyMCE / s9y?

You could easily use any font that is installed on your PC, but be aware that your site visitor might not have that font on their system, and this means that their browser will default to something like arial or times roman, and as an aside, this will probably account for the vast majority of your site visitors.

Unfortunately this is one of those horrible disappointments about webdesign/blogging that we all have to live with, specifically that it isn't possible to embed a font into your site for your users unless you give them the download link to the font and request they install it.

An alternative, which at this time works only on the main titles would be to convert the text to an image in the font of your choice, you would need to install one of two experimental plugins that are being developed, and you may need to ask the developers for assistance. Read about them here and here.
