it is only two fonts... just utilizing bold and italics to visually divide hierarchy.
i only used Arial Black for titles and Arial regular, bold, and italics for everything else.

Why do you need to embed the font, rather than create an image instead?
i'm vehemently opposed to using graphics for text because of file size and load time reasons. if i can avoid it then i will take that rout, otherwise i figure that even though i would like to have it there... it's not a necessity.
also not every browser or user can view images so if you rely on images for your titles or body copy then what happens to usability and accessibility for those users?
usability issues are the same reason that i never willingly use JavaScript.
