Looking for a font similar to Georgia, but without the numbers dipping as they do
Question
Does anyone know a font that looks like Georgia, but where in the numbers are a consistent height and don't drip down oddly as in Georgia?
Better yet, is there anywhere I can get a .ttf or a .otf where in the numbers are adjusted?
I can't just manually adjust the font because I need it for font-face.

Bitstream Charter has three things in common with Georgia: (1) it's about the same size; (2) its upper-case letters are less tall than lower-case ascenders; (3) it was designed by Matthew Carter. But Bitstream Charter has lined (non-descending) numerals.
Unfortunately I have no experience with @font-face, so I can't help you with that part of the problem.
