Enabling Dynamic Fonts
 

Dynamic Fonts allow your browser to display a font you do not have installed on your computer, by accessing a temporary font file that is embedded in the website. You will not be required to download or install the font to your computer. However, you may need to tell your browser that it's okay to display the dynamic fonts if they're available.

In Netscape:
Netscape versions 4.0 or higher come with the ability to view Dynamic Fonts already installed. However, you may need to change your display settings to activate it.
Click on Edit, and go to Preferences
Under Preferences, click on Fonts.
You'll see three options for default fonts; select
Use document-specified fonts, including Dynamic Fonts.
Click OK.
In Internet Explorer:
Internet Explorer does not have the Dynamic Fonts player plug-in installed; you will have to download it. When you encounter a page with dynamic fonts, IE will ask you if you want to download the plug-in. Say yes. You only need to do this once. Bitstream, the company that makes the plug-in, is still looking into the difficulties IE has with recognizing certain fonts (including the one this page is set in), even with the plug-in installed. If the fonts do not appear in the fancy calligraphic version, they will at least appear in your browser's default font.
 

After following the instructions above, hit Refresh. You should now see this message in its proper font.
