I've come across a website that uses these fonts and they showed up on my browser. I looked through my fonts folder and couldn't find them. Can somebody explain to me what these fonts are? Do they always come with Windows and Mac? If so, for how long now?
Here's the site: http://www.shauninman.com/
It's porobably using MS's EOT/WEFT technology.

Actually, looking at the site, it's made in Flash and it's probably an embedded font in the SWF.
Sorry, spoke too soon. It's not flash... Hrant is probably right.
I don't see the usual tell-tale WEFT tags in the source code. Could be that it's done in FAIRY - or whatever the other embedding technology is.
not weft, cause i'm seeing it perfectly in mozilla firebird
The headers are, initially, plain text, which gets replaced by Flash headers by Javascript that loops through the document.
By the way, this is fontfont's DIN.
Interesting. Looks like he's going to write an article on how it's done...
Speaking of Flash: Is anybody attending Flashforward SF in March (in 2 weeks)? Jared and I will be there.
