That depends on what exactly you mean by "implement that." If you're asking
how to display Bank Gothic on computers that don't have that font, then you
are out of luck.

On the other hand, you can have *some* influence over what happens when Bank
Gothic isn't available, by supplying a list of suggested fonts in CSS. If a
user's browser supports CSS, and if the user hasn't configured it to ignore
font suggestions, the browser will use the first font available from those
listed. You should be sure to list one of the generic "family" names last,
as the final fallback if nothing else is available.

Example CSS:

BODY {
font-family: "Bank Gothic" Times serif;
}
