    Question fonts on a webserver - how can the user see them?

    I have a font "termina0.ttf" in the directory "_fonts" on my webserver. I want to have some text written in that font on my website - Yet, if someone visits my page, there is always the text in "Arial" instead of "Terminator Two".

    How can I tell the page to show the text in "Terminator Two" and not in "Arial"?

    thx in advance

    If you want the text to show up in the users browser, they must have the termina0.ttf file installed on their computer. an alternitive is to make the text into an image.

    There are downloadable fonts that require you to make the fonts into a special package. I never got into it, but I know the methods for doing it were completely different for IE and for Netscape.

    Get these: Mozilla Opera OpenBSD
    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.
