Online font licensing?

I would like to make a beautiful typography on the Internet, that is, fonts other than a limited set of "web safe" fonts.

Reasonable choices (given accessibility and SEO) seem like Cufón or sIFR or maybe @ font-face.

Which approach has some blessing from foundry fonts? Are some foundries more Internet friendly? I know there are free font houses, but I don't know a good free font catalog.

Generally speaking, Font Linking (for example, @font-face) will violate EULA for the font used because it is based on the redistribution of the font file. Ergo, you can't. Of course, there are fonts that allow this.

Hoefler and Frere-Jones mention sIFR in their FAQ in paragraph 20: http://www.typography.com/ask/faq.php . To summarize, they are fine with him if you take all possible measures to prevent reuse of the Flash file. I have not seen this from other foundries. However, the Flash implementation should be known by now, and IFR / sIFR is about six years old, without any lawsuits that I know of.
