Creating template with font not recognised by other PC's

[Guest]

Hi, hope someone can help me

I need to create a template with Gill Sans as a font. Problem is, the people I want to use the template, do not have Gill Sans loaded on their PC's. So all unrecognised font automatically turns to their default font (Arial)

Is there some way I can create this template with the Gill Sans font, and have it appear (and print) as Gill Sans. The text that they input onto the template can remain as Arial, it's just the text I create on the template I want as Gill Sans

Someone suggested maybe as a graphic???? ( I don't know how to do this) But the users of the template still need to be able to type on the template

Thank yo
Sky

The only good solution is to distribute the font files along with the
template (copyright issues notwithstanding). You could use inserted graphics
provided you don't need your users to edit the Gill Sans text: OK if it's
just a small amount of text like a letterhead -- although mixing typefaces
like Gill Sans and Arial is a typographic no-no.

You could embed the font (if its license permits embedding), but that will
drastically inflate the file size.

Thank you to Jezebel and Suzanne so much, you have been a great help. I think I will use the Inserted graphics option as it is only a samll amount of text, like you said.

Cheers!
