Hi all,
I have a client who wants a page to be generated in html but also wants the text to be in a font of his choosing.
He says that he knows a guy who knows some script that checks if the user has the font used and if not replaces the text on the page with the closest substitute.
Can anyone shed a little light on this for me?
I thought u just had control over serif or sans-serif.
Thanks. :pleased:

I thought you can embed fonts in sites now…

Thanks APDesign. That sounds pretty much ideal…
