Tom,
There was a thread on embedding that referenced a URL on
the 2 methods that can be used on either this NG or on the
ms.pub.fp.client (abbreviated) NG within the last week.
I never had luck with WEFT, and it is only supported on IE
browsers. Depending on how much you use that font, you may
want to set an alternate font in case Amazed was not
available, or convert that text to graphic images.
