Fonts/Typefaces not available to users - 9/27/2004 9:15:43   
Hi,

I create a site using a particular font - some people see this font, others don't.

Is there any way I can ensure everyone see the same font? (other than converting the font into a graphic)

I realise that I can add alternative fonts - is there any limit to how many I can set?

Cheers

To ensure everyone can see it:

Limit to number of fonts? Nope, just try and stick to four

You've had it then haven't you:)

Only way would be to offer a download of the font file used...

assuming you created and own the font and can give it away for free you mean?!

best bet is a graphic

I took a look at the demos. Some appear well in Firefox, some fall apart. However, the Las Vegas Treasure Hunt was better in Firefox than IE. Text sizes could be increased for decreased in Firefox, but had no effect in IE?

Thanks for that. Am now using weft and it seems to have fixed the problem.

Appresciate the tip!

Cheers
