If the sense of the text absolutely depends on its being displayed in
a particular font, might it be better to display it in an image?
Helvetica and Arial are on almost every computer, but an image would
leave no doubt, and since the content is, essentially, the visual
representation of itself, an image would seem to me to be
semantically appropriate.
