[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] BTW, most courses of net-etiquette I have learned consider it 'rude' to ask someone to download a font to view your page.. the best instructors in web design I've learned from have stated that the ideal webpage is the one that is viewable to the highest number of people without said people having to go through any trouble to view the page. that being said, i think the best solution is to not only offer the font, but also alter the FONT tags to include an alternate (ugh.. non-Times) font just in case they don't want to get your font.. on my page, there are some places where I use Arial Narrow, but I recognize that most people with pre-2000 OSs might not have it, and still more people might be running old Macs that call Arial by the name Helvetica.. so a lot of my tags read FONT FACE="Arial Narrow,Arial,Helvetica".. that way, if they don't have the preferred font, it will try a couple others. IF I were you i would code the tag to use the preferred font first, then pick a backup font which people are guaranteed to have, that would be your second choice. also keep in mind that many fonts don't resize well for use as text, when they are specifically geared towards being a header font: [IMG]http://lobotomy.pleh.net/~flareupload/uploads/709/Clip1.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
