Ok so say I have some weird fonts I want to use....

How would I use them within a web page. If the PC logging onto my website did not have the font installed it defaults to aeriel.

How can this be resolved.

depends on how your page is laid out and where the "funny" fonts are

If they are in the main body of the page you could redo that section and save it as an image. I had the same problem with the last site I built, the laptop I did it on was fine, but another PC I used didn't have that font installed so it kept defaulting to Comic Sans. But once I saved the section as a jpeg the issue was gone!

Hope that helps Feel free to email me the page if you want me to have a look

In general the user is required to have your funny font installed on their system to display the webpage correctly unless the test is displayed as a graphic file.. you could create a script to force the user to download that font however this is bad web design principles and most certainly I would leave that site as there are many other out there.
