I have a font i've downloaded, its a True Type Font. I'm developing my own portfolio website so i'd like to get it fairly high up in Google (i can do the SEO for it) but i'm wondering what options i have for using this font for menu items, headings, etc..i've checked out Cufon but they wont let me upload it because it wasn't valid. I'd rather not use Flash..what other options have i got?

I doubt you have online distribution rights for this font.
Fonts and SEO have nothing to do with each other. Page layout and proper HTML coding practices do.

Yes they do. If i choose to use images instead of normal html to achieve the font i want, this is going to affect SEO – benhowdle89 Dec 01 '10 at 20:36

There are already tried-and-true methods for using images. Fonts don't change that. – Diodeus - James MacFarlane Dec 01 '10 at 20:37

1He's not saying there aren't methods. He's saying he only wants people to post methods that are good for SEO. The reason for this is that there exist methods of embedding fonts that aren't good for SEO (using images straight up without typing out the content somewhere in the code). What you said: "Fonts and SEO have nothing to do with each other" is true, but it doesn't apply to the specifications of his post. – John Kurlak Dec 01 '10 at 22:40
