(Of course, they could always trace a font from the graphics containing the font and easily create a TTF from it).</p> <p>The main strike against is this question is the following:</p> <p>"I'd like to be really sure nobody can use the font on their own web sites or download a copy"</p> <p>Really? Without using static images/flash/SIFR/Cufon, a user will need to download a copy of a font to their computer in order to render the font in their web browser. Once you give a copy to the user you can't really expect to control whether they use it on their own web site. Again, it's trivial to copy a font from a static image and create a TTF for the whole world to copy - see sites like <a href="http://www.dafont.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.dafont.com/</a> for examples of famous fonts copied (as an example, the Tranformers font: <a href="http://www.dafont.com/search.php?psize=m&q=transformers" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.dafont.com/search.php?psize=m&q=transformers</a>)</p>
