How to display glyphs from nonstandrad fonts?

This is a deliberate cross post because I am experiencing the same problem
in HTML as I am in Silverlight and I figure it would not be appropriate to
ask for a silverlight solution here.

My client gave me some propietary fonts. I can see the desired glyphs in
them using charmap.exe.

I would like to display these glyphs in a private web page.

This works: <tr style="font-family:Times New Roman"><td>Times New Roman</td>
This does not:
<tr style="font-family:Segeo Wedge Keycaps"><td>Segeo Wedge
Keycaps</td><td></td>
Well, actually "Segeo Wedge Keycaps" displays but the second column displays
as a rectangle, not the special glyph I was hoping for.

In XAML, this does not work either:
<TextBlock FontSize="10" FontFamily="Segeo Wedge Keycaps" Canvas.Top="0"
Canvas.Left="0"></TextBlock>

I can use charmap.exe to paste these characters into a word document
however, and they display correctly there!

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!
Siegfried

Boy do I feel stupid: I misspelled the font name! Never mind! Sorry for the
spam!
