Hi,
Congrats on your birthday!
Hope you don't have a hangover today.
I am not sure what the problem is: Why don't you simply install a nice
font on the server?
AFAIK you can use the fonts available at the server.
If you are looking for free fonts, google for 'free fonts postscript'
and you'll find a bunch.
But since I am seriously estitically impaired, I suggest you pick the
ones you consider slick yourself. ;-)
This might also help:

Good luck.
