I was using some real nice fonts in various places (for emphasis etc) but when I went to my site on another computer the fonts had reverted to a default font. This means to me that the person veiwing must also have that font on their system.&nbsp;&nbsp;Why is this? <p>grwelsh<br><a href=mailto:grwelsh@cybersaints.com>grwelsh@cybersaints.com</a><br><a href= I went through what I did, although I'm 61 now I still<br>
sense the need to tell others about the life changing power<br>
found in Jesus Christ. My web site is all about helping others. Support groups etc. Come see.
 
The reason it doesn't show up on another computer is because the font isn't installed there.&nbsp;&nbsp;Basically, a font needs to be installed on the visitor's computer for him to see it in that font.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is why it's a good practice to stick with standard fonts like Times New Roman and Arial.<br><br> <p>Linda Adams<br><a href=mailto:Garridon@aol.com>Garridon@aol.com</a><br><a href= Adams Online</a><br>I'm a professional writer, published internationally.
