And that would prove ... what exactly?

Try google.com if you want to try searching for some 'real life
examples' -- although how they would differ from the page shown you
haven't said (and I guess you never will).

Yep. Produced on the spur of the moment in response to Andy's comments
-- 6 embedded fonts on one page. Fonts chosen to show clearly that
they're not Arial and Times New Roman ;-) ...... as well as the ease
with which it can be done.

Seems to contradict your claims "...It just isn't practical, and if you
try to use it for something real, you'll run into problems..." doesn't
it?

Unless you have something to add, I guess this conversation's come to
its natural conclusion.

I'll just let the jury decide on this one.
