Need Web Design Help ASAP!

MilitantB0B · 2004-10-27, 03:43 PM

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.

PS:

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...
