I do not remember the syntax for specifying a font that is downloaded
But what appears to be the case is that the result of the post is supposed to be assigned the css rule
The following assumes there is a valid css class definition that can be referenced, that does specifiy
the downloaded font
<?php
if($_POST['text']) { print "<p class'(css class def goes here)'>"$_POST['text']"</p>"}
?>
