Word art and text box font issues

P

pmtruitt

I'm using alot of word art for titles on my page but when I publish it, the
fonts are completely different and generic. The same thing happens with all
text boxes.

I actually tried copying the .ttf file into the publication's folder but
that did no good. The folder shows that each item is actually there as a .gif
file so I didnt think it was a font issue.

On my machine at home it looks fine, even after I upload it to my host. But,
I see the difference from my machine at the office. Is it my publication or
the machine I'm viewing it on.... I need help!!!

If the system you are viewing it on doesn't have that font installed, you
won't see that font.

Thats what I was afraid of. If I save a word art item as a picture file, then
import that pic in, will that work?

Yes, non web fonts need to be created in a graphic. That is a web design
standard regardless of the program being used for web pages.
