Font appears as expected

[Mark Flynn]

How do you make sure that the font used is the font that appears on the page?
I used the Harrington font, 24 pt.
COSTUME PARTY
but looking at the page on a different PCs, it looks like "COSTUME PARTY" shows up as whatever the default font is for that PC.
Thanks, Mark Flynn

Make it a graphic. When a web page displays it looks to see if the user has that font installed. If not it chooses the closest thing which can have strange results. You may also want to do a search for FONT EMBEDDEDING. MS used to have a too called WEFT that would allow you to embed the fonts on the page but then the user would have to download and install them.

Thanks for your prompt reply. I tried to copy & paste the text into MS Paint to make it a graphic, but this approach isn't working; so I'm doing something wrong. Can you suggest a program that will help me convert the text that I want to use into a graphic?
Thanks, Mark

You can do this with the free Irfanview: www.irfanview.com
You'll need to study the help files to see how it's done, as you'll create a
new blank image, first.

Are you creating a text box first in Paint and then pasting,
or are you just pasting?
