jquery: Embedding font face with jquery?

Hi,

As far as I know that embedding font face is only possible with CSS3 (CSS2 but not CSS2.1), and not all browsers are ready for it yet, particularly IE (unless IE9?)...

I wonder if it is possible to use jquery to embed font face? any idea how can I start the code? or any plugin which can do this job?

Thanks

+1 A:

Have you considered using Typekit (http://typekit.com/)? It costs money, but that way you can be sure both that the font embedding works and that your use of fonts is properly licensed.

This requires that you use Flash as well, but it should be cross-browser compatible (unless of course that browser doesn't support Flash...)
