Publishing with Frontpage

[Votan]

We could save files with WORD or create a pdf file with embedded fonts. Is there a similar option in publishing a website with Frontpage? Or with a different publisher?

Votan, are you trying to ensure the web browser uses the correct font?

Exactly, this is what I am trying to do!

Not possible with normal fonts, simply because the browser renders the code with whatever fonts it has handy... yah you can state what you like in your css, but if the webuser doesn't have that font it can't display it...

Now there is a little trick using CSS and image replacement though, but this has a detrimental effect on web readers and other accessibility options your users might need.

this assumes knowledge of CSS If you only use frontpage and have no clue about the code, then you are going to be stuck.

better off sticking with standard fonts or using a graphic jpg in an area you want a particular font to be visible.

Verdana's pretty much a standard font and looks neater and more finished on a web page than time new roman.

The out of luck that lead me here. People complained the page does not display well. It turned out that the browser borrows whatever font it likes from the substitution table wherever it may be hidden.

If the page does not display well, then change the way the page displays... you have to work within the limitations of the browsers... and of course you are also working within the limitations of front page if you don't know how to code by hand.

I fiddle with the code manually, in some instances I used gif. Leaving it to Frontpage alone it is frustrating.
