Using Non Standard Fonts

I use a custom font on my web page. It doesn't display on computers that don't
have the font. Is there any way to set the properties so that it will display
on other machine accurately? Or can I specify a second choice to use?

You can't force a font on your users, but you can specify as many alternate
choices as you like.

font-family: "Your Custom Font Name", Verdana, Georgia, Arial, sans-serif;

The browser will start at the left and move along the list until it finds a
matching font on the user's machine.

You can force a font on a user, but it involves firearms and
intimidation!<grin>

The easiest way is just to make any areas of text using a custom font into a
graphic file, and then all users can see them, however this is only really
good for small areas of text rather than a whole site.
