Help with adding font to a website...?
I am hoping someone can help me on this. I am a self taught (not very well) Microsoft frontpage newbie....I am having problems getting the font to show up on the website. It is fine on the computer I built it on (I am assuming b/c that font is installed) but on computers that the font isn't installed, it just goes to default. How can I fix this? Do I have to make the font a picture? HELP.....
Thank you,
So it has to be embedded into a picture? How do the big dogs do it? I know I don't have all the fonts in the world, but I am able to see cool fonts on different webpages...HELP

The font will only appear on computers where it is installed. If it's a fancy font you're using as a logo, make it into a graphic. You can specify a list of fonts, separated by commas, and the browser will use the first one it comes to that's installed on the computer. It's a good idea to end the list with one of the five default font styles: serif, sans-serif, cursive, monospace, and fantasy. In addition, there are a number of fonts that you can generally count on as being installed on both Windows and Mac computers; look here: http://www.ampsoft.net/webdesign-l/WindowsMacFonts...

On the computer that you are putting the codes click on start and then go to wordpad. Click Format then click fonts and it will give you a list of all the fonts installed on that computer. It ill show you what each one looks like. copy the name and paste it to where you want the name of the font to go. Not sure if you understand what I mean. Hope this helps. (easier to do myself then giving instrustions lol)

Use a font that most people have, and also specify a font family, eg in CSS,
p.main { font-family: Verdana; sans serif }
The sans serif part is the family. Verdana is a commonly used font in the sans serif family. You could also use a serif family, eg Times, or cursive family.
Hope this helps you!

If the font isn't on my PC, then there's no way of my PC displaying it. You could do it with an image, but shouldn't really. Just use a font that everyones got
