embed fonts

Am putting together a photography site and want to use an elegant font and
was curious on how to embed a certain font that may not be on everyone's
machine and if they were to go to my site, it would still show correctly? Is
this not recommended? I think I remember it used to be that way, but things
have come a long way with web programming and what is right and wrong. Am
just looking for that "right" font that goes with my concept. Thanks for any
suggestions, ideas, or alternative solutions!

You still cannot reliably embed a font in a web page.

If the font is used for headings or *very* small amounts of body text,
then make an image of the text and use that instead - but remember to
include alt text for search engines and users using non-visual browsers.
