Question: How do I have my website visitors view my fonts even if they don’t have them installed on their computer?

Filed under: Web Design & Develop

Answer:

I usually stick with the widely installed fonts: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Monaco, Helvetica, Georgia, and Times New Roman.

However, if you insist on using an unusual fancy-prancy font, you can save the text as an image instead. Simply create a graphic in your favorite image editing program, and put your text in it. All your visitors will see the font you want them to see!
