Hi all, you guys even remeber me still? I hope so, because I need some help from some more web savy people on the double quick.

I have started development on my own little project. I will fill you guys in the details when they are more clear to all involved.

What I need to know is if there is any way to put text on a website in a font that the veiwer does not have and make it show up on their screens in that font. I am trying to include alot of a font called 1942 report (a broken typewriter type font) but most folks do not have it. I am using dreamweaver MX to build the sight if that makes any difference.

A quick answer is emperative as I am on a dead line.

Thanks in advance. :p

PS:
:crapper: :lol: When was that smilley added?

Could you not put the writing into a paragraph on a transparent background on say, Photoshop, and put the .gif (or .png - works best on Mozilla etc, so I suppose the target audience will be using IE) on the site?

Here's an example of the .png

I had considered that, but it will be a text heavy site that is updated regularly, so it would need to be text that you could copy and paste and whatnot. I will probably do that if I must for the headings and other more static elements.

Does anybody know a way to do this? I could have sworn I have seen text on websites with fonts I don't have...

Hey bob.

Ruby is doing good, but half the band (that being one person, the drummer) is out of the country right now, but he will be back in late november and then they will start touring again and releasing new material. I will keep yah posted!

And for all of you who don't know, Ruby is my brothers band, you can find out more about them here: www.RubyInterweb.com
