How can I (FORCE) a font to remain in a website, and display on any computer no matter what. I think I'm trying to "EMBED" a font, is that right?

Please help.

It's tricky but rather neat: try out MS Web Embedded Font Technology (WEFT). It's a free download. It creates a subset of any TTF that works only from your URL so it can't be distributed. A pain to keep updating, but even works to display barcodes and other unusual fonts.

Good luck,

The one site where I needed to use a specific font for just some text on some of the pages I created an image using that font/text with MS Image Composer. Kept the image small and it worked like a charm. This is okay if you don't need to keep changing what the text is in that font/image.
