Sort of... An HTML document can, using the FACE attribute of the <FONT> tag,
give a list of suggested fonts with which to render a section of text, but
there's no guarantee that the font you want exists on the user's system, or
that the HTML renderer supports either the FACE attribute or the <FONT> tag in
the first place.
But even when a specific font is successfully selected, every font I've seen on
Macs and Windows systems displays the (R) symbol as big as a capital O, so
switching fonts wouldn't help.
It may be possible to use...
<SUP><SUP>TM</SUP></SUP>
or
<SUP><SMALL>TM</SMALL></SUP>
...in place of...
™
...maybe I'll give that a try sometime...but it'll probably cause even worse
problems on text-only displays because people on text-only displays know that
™ is the TM symbol, whereas <SUP> and <SMALL> would just be ignored, so (I
think) you'd see something like
LEGO MINDSTORMSTM
with no intervening space characters. :-(
