You can use whatever fonts you like in a Web site, whether
or not they're installed on your computer.To specify a
font that's not installed, just type its name instead of
using the drop-down box.

This, however, isn't the real problem. The real problem is
that your visitors will only be able to see fonts that are
installed on *their* systems. Installing a font on your
system and using it on your page *doesn't* make it
available to your visitors.

That's why most designers use very generic fonts, and may
even specify a list of fonts in order of preference, such
as:

<style>
body { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif }
</style>

This, "Please use Verdana if you have it. Otherwise use
Arial. And if you don't have that either, use Helvetica.
If all else fails, give me whatever sans serif font you've
got."

If you have a small bit of text that absolutely *must* be
in a certain font, such as a company logo, make it a
graphic.
