Is there a legal way for me to embed the Calibri font into a website for non Windows Vista/7 visitors? [closed]

Question

I would like to use Calibri for my website.

I would like to use the Calibri font for my website even when the visitor does not have the font installed (ie. non Windows Vista/7 visitors).

Does Microsoft allow embedding of the Calibri font into a Web Site?

If so, what technology do they allow this? EOT?

Thanks.

I would just put Calibri in the CSS followed by the fonts that match Calibri the closest. For example:

font-family: Calibri, Candara, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Optima, Arial, sans-serif;

Your website will then take the best available font.

Depending on the type of visitors your website is meant for most visitors should have Windows Vista or Windows 7 and thus have the Calibri font available for viewing your website.

Somehow, Google has Calibri and Cambria in their directory. You might be able to use it through their link:

Calibri → https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Calibri:400,700,400italic,700italic

Cambria → https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cambria:400,700,400italic,700italic
