doing a quick page for the boss, and he wants to use trade gothic for the body copy (of which there is a lot, so making the copy an image isn't an option).
how can i do this?

there is this method of embedding it with flash,
SIRF or something like that,it works with flash and javascript. So that if there is no flash support, they will still get the text.

sIFR - but it is a little hacky and there are some issues between ie7 and ie6. Look into it nonetheless.
Mike Davidson has the site for that stuff I think.... try a google search.

Yeah. I tried it for the header of a XHTML site, but didnt really like it...
its clever, but if you need people to have FLASH and javascript enabled, you might just do it in flash, and forget about all the hassle.
It is probably good for a site where accessibility is a top priority..

does he have Trade Gothic on his computer? if so, enter the css as
body {
font-family: "trade gothic", "lucida console", sans-serif /* etc*/
}or something similar.
