There's nuthin' wrong with specifying the Papyrus font, in case someone does
have it installed. I'd also specify something more generic ("serif",
"sans-serif", "cursive") in addition, so you're sure what the fallback will
be.

Both Netscape and IE contain some sort of on-the-fly-downloadable-font
technology, but I've never once seen anyone use it.
