Not a PHP issue. HTML doesn't allow to embed fonts. You have to live
with what is available on your visitors systems. If you need a special
font for a heading for example, you have to use an image.

1. PHP: possible solution -http://pl2.php.net/imagettftext
2. Flash + JS: sIFR
2. CSS: You have to wait for web fonts

Not "embed" but you can use CSS to allow visitors to download fonts from web,
if their browser support @font-face declaration.

This rule was removed from CSS 2.1 years ago, but might come back with
CSS 3. However, the main problem with fonts is the same as with images
downloaded from other sites - you are usually not allowed to distribute
them on your own site. Doing that would violate the copyright.

I didn't said it will "work well" or even "work"...
Try this.

@font-face {
font-family: "Exact Font Name";
/* i.e.
font-family: "DejaVu LGC Sans";
*/
src: url('relative or absolute URL to font file');
/* i.e.
src: url('/static/fonts/DejaVuLGCSans.ttf');
}

DejaVu fonts available at http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Download
(Not very good for my taste, but good enough and free of charge)
