Adding a custom font

R

ray.

I have a specialise font installed into Office suite which I use in my
documents and also in a simple website I have generated using Microsoft
Frontpage 2003.
This font displays properly when I view the website on my PC. But however
when I look at the website on a different PC this font is not displayed
correctly.
Does anyone know how I can embed this font into my website ?

The bottom line is that you really can't. MS has had some embedding tools,
but, it requires that the web visitor actually allows the font to be
downloaded and installed on their computer. It's not likely they'll give
permission to do so.

Visitors to your web site have to have your 'specialized' font on their
computer before they can see it on your site. For headings and static info,
you can convert the headings or static info into a gif and display it as an
image. All dynamic text, however, should be in 'web safe' fonts. (See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web-safe_fonts)
