Hello, I have searched this newsgroup and I haven't found anything about how
to embed a font in a FP 2003 site. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

See http://www.microsoft.com/typography/web/embedding/weft3/
But it is a poor technology, create a security hole, and most users block it, plus requires you have a distribution license for the
font
- so don't use any embedded fonts

So how do I get around the problem? Is a CSS site my only option? Thank you.

You can suggest which font(s) to use, but only fonts installed on the
users PC will display.
In CSS use a font-family to give choices- your font plus others that are
similar:

<style type=£text/css">
P {font-family: yourfont, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}
</style>

The style block goes in the <head> section of the page, just before the
</head> tag in code view.

Depends on what use your making of the Font - If it's mainly for
headings and the like, then you'd be best to create an image using the
font, and insert that onto the page, if you want to create a whole
page using a particular font - probably outa luck there, flash would
be another option - but file size could be restrictive and make things
take too long to load up.

Hi Alastair.... I'm certainly no expert and am staying with FrontPage as it
is user-friendly and doesn't require learning code. I had this same question
and found that the best thing to do is just to make sure that the fonts
you're using are ones that everyone will have. Here's a list:

I hope this helps!
