Is there any way to add some custom font on website, without using images, flash or some other graphics. I want to use a TrueType Font that is not web safe for my content, but I didn't find the right way how to add that font on ezPublish and how to include that font with css into html, so is there any chace to do this without graphics?

There is a way, but it is somewhat under construction:

So its possible if you only target mac + iphone + google chrome users or alternatively ie only.

I found the "text to image" ez function. It transforms the text into an image. But unfortunately it only works when we write the text on the templates.
Is there any way to use this function if the text we want to transform to an image is in the administration interface?

Hi

You can allways try using sIFR:

It uses JavaScript and Flash, but downgrades mercifuly for Flash-disabled browsers.

Sure enough - you will have to look in the php code of eZ Publish to find out which classes implement this functionality.
Otoh, the admin interface is also built via templates, so if what you need is not to programatically create new images with text but only displaying it in the admin interface, you can override some admin templates.
