Displaying fonts properly

M

Mark

How do I get my website (FP 2002) fonts to display
properly on computers which the font is not installed? I
tried MS WEFT but can't seem to get it to work. Is there a
way to have the font download as page loads?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

WEFT works marginally on IE only
- but only if users security setting are so lax as to allow it

IMHO
It's a big security home and most user settings should be set to block it

Use std fonts or images where critical

WEFT is buggy, and only works on certain IE browsers. And, requires the
user to allow a download of the font to their system. Most won't, and many
browsers block the feature.

So, you need to use web-friendly fonts. If the font isn't installed on
their computer, they can't see it. Period.
