There'd Better Be Money In The Baptism Business
Because I'm about to pay $1500 for a font.
Licensing professional typefaces for web use is seriously expensive. Well, seriously expensive to someone who's paying for it out of his own pocket, anyway.
What this means is that I can dynamically generate menu items and logo buttons and suchlike in the standard mu.nu font, Horatio Medium. As things stand, I have over 100,000 pre-generated images for the menu items alone, and I have to manually generate banners if I want them to use this font.
It's a nice font, though.

Does $95 US sound better?

Yeah, it's a licensing issue. I want to put the font on the web server so that I can dynamically generate images using it (for the text in banners, menu items, logos, buttons and so on). You're not allowed to do that with a standard font license, and Linotype charges €300 per year per font for a web server license - with a three-year minimum contract.
