What do I do if I want to specify a font that has spaces in the name? I just grabbed a font off the web that's called "free 3 of 9", and want to use it. I can do <font face="free 3 of 9"> and that works, but I'd rather get in the habit of using css for everything; so how is it done?

dakota81,
If you want that font of yours to be visible to other internet users then you must embed the font. If you don't, the font will only be shown correct to people that have that font installed on their system.
Here are two FAQs that tells you how to embed the font instead.
faq215-4042 & faq215-1525
Also notice, that the user will be prompted if he/she whats to download the embedded font and if the answer is no -you're back to the same problem.
Good Luck §;O)

Thanks for the tip; I was actually going to look that up on the side anyways. This specific case I can just install the barcode font on all the particular computers myself; but it would be much easier to embed them & have them install it themselves.
