<font face='Arial'>Hi,

I recently created a site with a particular font type I liked. Now I find that a visitor will not see this font but his own default font unless he's got 'my' font installed under windows...
Is there some way I can make the browser use the font, independently of the installed fonts on a visitors computer? I read something about dynamic fonts, but couldn't find any details.
Thanx.

<font face='Arial'>I have a hunch this is only going to work in Explorer, not in other browsers. Being a Mozilla user myself, I'd really like the font to be viewable with all browsers... Other suggestions?
Still: thanx for your help, Wayne. I'll try them 'embedded fonts', see what happens.

Peter, here are a couple of links about dynamic fonts

I think it's only compatible with IE and Netscape. But it might be worth a look.
