FP2002 Fonts won't display in other computers

[Guest]

I've tried to embed the fonts but can't find the options in FP2002 to do so.

FOnt's won't display on others' computers

Embed what fonts? If you're using non-standard fonts you're better off
making them into graphics

There is a tool called WEFT (Windows Embedded Font Tool) that can be used to
embed fonts in web pages. Visit http://www.microsoft.com/typography for more
info. It's not recommended though since only IE users can see the font, it
bloats the size of the page, and frankly users tend not to like non-standard
fonts.

....plus, the user must allow the font to download to their computer when
asked if they want to allow it. Bet not many would.

Fonts that are not installed on those computers won't display in the site.
Forget the "embedding" idea - it requires something caled "WEFT" and it
still involves the user downloading fonts to their system - which they
probably won't do - just to view your site.

If you have fancy fonts, then make graphics in that particular font, and use
them (sparingly) such as in titles.

Otherwise use a "web safe" font like Arial or Times Roman, Verdana etc.

And WEFT is a big security risk/hole
