Font does not appear correctly with Interactive Button

[Divine Will]

I am using FrontPage 2003 in a Windows XP (SP2) (PC) environment and am
having trouble with INTERACTIVE BUTTONS.

PROBLEM: When I place an interactive button on the web page and specify
Handel Gothic BT as the font for the button's text, the font comes out
looking like Arial on the button... not Handel Gothic BT.

I'm fairly sure the Handel Gothic BT font is loaded on the system since I
can type a line of Handel Goth text on the same web page as the button is on.
I can also type lines of text in Handel Gothic in MS Word without a
problem... so the font appears to be installled properly.

I've updated Frontpage via the MS website and tried creating the Interactive
Button again as above. Still no success.

Any ideas what might be going on with this button/font combo? Any help
greatly appreciated.

You can only use the fonts available in the Font Drop Down - Font Tab of the IB

Hello:

The Handel Gothic BT font does appear in the drop down list for the
INTERACTIVE BUTTON and is selectable... it's just that the Handel font seems
to be replaced by a font that looks like Arial.

I looked at the font files in the Control Panel (Windows) and noticed that
the Handel Gothic BT font had an "a" symbol next to it. Not a "TT" or an "O"
like most of the other fonts listed.

I did some web searching and found that the Handel Gothic font is available
in both True Type and Adobe Type 1 formats. It appears that I have the Adobe
version loaded on my computer.

The best I can figure is that the Interactive Button does not work with the
Adobe Type 1 font... but may work with the True Type version.

I will try deleting the Adobe version of the Handel font and replace it with
the True Type version to see if my theory works or not.

Does this sound like a plausible cause for the problem I am encountering?
