Font woes

OK, the title is not quite accurate.  What I'm currently having trouble with is finding a reasonably cost-efficient way of embedding a font into my game.  I've found a font, and it is lovely and perfect but, unfortunately, it will cost a total of $300 to purchase a license such that I can legally embed it within my game.  It's slightly irksome that this cost is basically 10x the fee for using the same font in unlimited commercial print media.

Arse.
