Designing Web pages can be a frustrating experience if you like using nonstandard fonts, because there's a good chance your visitors won't be able to see those fonts in their browsers. Web browsers can display only the fonts installed on users' systems, making it almost impossible to build creative font choices into your designs.
"The typical method for including an unusual font on a page is to create a graphic of the text, then insert the graphic into the HTML page. But while this works well enough for short headings, it's a poor idea for longer text, because the resulting graphic requires extra download time, and because the graphic is much harder to edit than standard text. This method also has the disadvantage of being impossible for search engines to index."
A useful alternative is to embed the fonts in the Web document so that they'll be displayed even if the recipient's system does not have those fonts installed. Contact me if you need more help implementing this....
