Using different fonts for webpage

[Tim]

Hi there,

I had downloaded a new font to use for my website, but it is not a font that
comes standard with MS. Therefore, my friends cannot see the font as I
intended it to look. How do I make sure that others can see the new font
that I have used for my website? Do they too have to download it?...or is
there another way?

A web page will only display those fonts installed on the users
system, so non-standard fonts will need to be downloaded and
installed.
You can make images using the new font for headings, and use the
images instead of text.

Try Microsoft's WEFT or, for a more reliable solution, Bitstream. Or,
save the text as a graphic.

Or don't bother - neither of those first two solutions is worth the effort
(frankly, I'm not even sure the second one is available). If it is,
however, it's not cross-browser reliable (just like WEFT).

There are some new approaches to this, called sIFR -

But that's about it.....
