If you use WordPress.org as your blogging application and want to change the fonts on your blog or website quickly and easily, then the Font Uploader Plugin can help you.
The WordPress Font Uploader Plugin allows you to use any font (even your own) in any size and in any location on your blog or website without touching any HTML or CSS code. There is a free version of this plugin and a paid version that includes added features such as support for Internet Explorer, Google Fonts, or font size control.
The developer of the Font Uploader Plugin, Pippin Williamson, is holding a blog contest on his blog where he is giving away three copies of the full-featured paid version of the Font Uploader Plugin. Follow the link to get all the details and enter the contest. The entry deadline is Monday, May 16, 2011.
Good luck!
