How do I upload font's to my website?

[Guest]

Does anybody know how I can upload the font's I am using on my computer to
design my website to the server? If I go to my site on a different computer
that does not have font's installed that I programmed with, the web
substitutes the font with Times New Roman.

Does anybody know of a way to get around this? I have no idea if this is
even possible but I would think in Front Page you should be able to embed the
font into the page so it appears on the web exactly as it does on my machine.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks

You don't load fonts on your server.

They are dependent upon what the Viewer's machine has installed on IT. Try to stick to standard fonts unless you want your viewers to download and install your fancy fonts (ain't gonna happen). There's another way too...but most people won't let automatic font downloads to happen either.

Stick to standard fonts in your text...if you simply gotta must have something fancy, make a graphic out of it.

in a round-about way you could. I wouldn't do it on most sites but in
certain circumstances it works OK.

there's some tools here;

None of these methods are perfect or work on every system but it's a
possible option.
here's an example or two:

Why would you think that?

Fonts are programs. Many are copyrighted by their owners.
For instance, Adobe has many fonts that cost over $150. For
you to be able to distribute them by placing them on a web
site would be a disaster to all font designers. Embedding
is pretty much restricted to documents destined for a
commercial printer when creating a .pdf.

the fonts displayed are those on the user's computer, not "unique" to the site.
It depends on the user having the font you want to use
