When I view my published pages from other PCs that are not using
office 2003, the fonts I used to write my web pages are replaced by other
fonts.
Any solution known to man? thank you, Sebastien

No. If the font is not installed on the PC, then you will not see it.

Your choice of websafe fonts is quite limited. If you want 'special' fonts,
then you would have to use a graphic. Using graphics for all text on a page
is a really bad idea, however, for lots of reasons.

You can use Graphics for headlines and the sort. For body text forget
it.

the display of fonts is largely relied on by the user having that font, therefore
use fonts that *everyone* is likely to have. Or if you want a special font for
headings or whatever, create images of those headings with your special font.

MS makes an app called WEFT (free) that supports fonts you choose. Works
pretty well but adds bulk to your pages.
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/WEFT.mspx

Another is TrueRes Packager ($) that is pretty good and doesn't add bulk.
Won't work on a Mac though.

Neither work on all browsers/platforms, and do not justify the added effort
for a simple cosmetic effect, in my opinion.
