I need to have downloadable fonts for web sites.  I want to be able to 
use the same fonts across all platforms and browsers.  Well as much as 
possible.  The CSS2 at-rules makes it possible but I need the files to 
give M$ (.otf) and Mozilla (.pfr) the same fonts.  I have plenty of 
fonts to choose from, just not in the right format.

I really would rather not have to buy fonts or be restricted to only M$ 
fonts which aren't shared with *nix fonts.
