Fonts changed after publishing website

[Nadja]

We created several new pages on our website and some of the fonts change once
the pages have been published. Everything seems to be correct on our
computer, but when viewing it from others, the fonts change.

For example, in the following link
http://www.snorkelpark.com/snorkeling.html, we have used "Porky's" for the
titles, but it shows them as "Time New Roman" on other computers.

Is there a way to avoid this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your viewers would need to have Porky's font installed to see it, otherwise
their browser will display whatever is set as defaults.

Thanks, Rob.

Just to make sure we understand. We can only use standard fonts for our
website. Any "fancy" fonts would not display on the www, if the viewer does
not have that particular font installed. Correct?

Nadja -

That is correct. However, for limited use of special fonts, such as for
headlines and titles, you can use a graphic program to create .gif image
files and display them that way.

Which works fine except it may effect your SEO since spiders can't read text
in images.
