Okay, well I want the links to have this certain font, but to my knowledge it only works on my computer since my computer hold that font. Is it anyway for my visitors to view the font as I view it?

Edit: bah on you, pb&j. :stickout: J to the izzosh 10-18-2006, 01:57 PM Since it's already been explained that you can't easily distribute arbitrary fonts to users, I won't elaborate on it further. However, CSS does provide the ability to specify multiple font families so you have something on which to fall back if they don't have your preferred font. You should aslo get into the habit of specifying generic font families. Generic font families tell the browser what kind of font you want displayed so that it can choose its own (defaults are usually configurable by the user) if none of yours are found. The generic font families are monospace, sans-serif, serif, cursive, and fantasy. Try reading this article for more information on generic families and common/similar fonts you can rely on among different platforms: http://www.upsdell.com/BrowserNews/res_fonts.htm p { font-family:verdana, "trebuchet ms", arial, sans-serif; } TrinidadHunni 10-18-2006, 09:00 PM Thanks a lot for the help.
