Styles - if the other machine does not have the font you specified, it goes through a default style list. You need to specify a fallback list in your styles.

I knew it would be something i was missing. Thank you for responding.

Could you direct me in how to implement your suggestion?

Thanks again.

Explanation

How - not very clear but you should get the gist

This one tells you what it looks like

http://www.codestyle.org/css/font-family/

Just look up "css fonts fallback" if there isn't enough info.

One thing I forgot to mention: Frontpage 2000 crashes on styles. To get around it, create your style but do not save. Copy the style from the HTML view, paste it in notepad then close front page. Open it again, go into HTML view, copy whatever was in notepad and paste it in Frontpage.

Sweet! But I am using FP 2003, will I have to do the same thing, or is that fixed in 2003?

No idea - I'm limited to Office 2000 and XP. Try it - if it works, then you have nothing to do. If it doesn't then you know what to do.
