Why would a Web designer want to use EOT fonts or another Web font embedding scheme?

If fonts are not embedded into a Web page, a Web designer must specify the use of system fonts that are resident on the site visitor’s machine, or risk the chance of fonts defaulting to an unintended design. Since few designers are willing to run this risk, most Web pages are designed using system fonts. If a technology standard for font embedding can be established, Web designers will have the same level of typographic choice and freedom as print designers.
