A client has supplied me with a special font that he wishes to use in
presenting his web page.
Is there some way I can upload this font to the server and then have my web
page use that font on the web page ?

I think this is your only realistic option (other than the obvious one of
making a graphic) -

Does you client have a license to distribute that font?

Can be done, bad idea. Good luck in convincing the client.

You probably could fool him though. Just put the old font = "weird
penguins", Verdana, Arial thing.
When he looks from his computer, where hehas it installed it will look fine
even if nobody else can see it.

LOL - how pragmatic is that.

And I *love* weird penguins, although weird weasels is even better.

No - the user must have the font on their machine, since it is Windows (or
the users O/S) that displays *anything* on the page - such as fonts. Also
it might be a font that is OK in Windows, but what about in Apple-macs or
Linux etc?

There's more to life than just Windows!

LOL.. true, until he goes visiting somewhere.

Your client should be able to accept the reality of the situation - that
there's no good way to do what he's asking - as long as you explain it
patiently.

In web development, the customer is most definitely not always right, and
that it's your responsibility to make every effort to provide him with the
best possible web site for his needs, and not just provide exactly what he
asks for. :-)
