Newb Font Question

[BoulderBum]

So I developed a site on my local machine for my upcoming wedding, and it looks great! I ended up using this elegant looking cursive font, which I know is ordinarily a "no-no" but it fit the circumstance since it sorta looks like a wedding invitation and it's only for our friends and family.

Anyway, I recently discovered that most users don't actually have the font, and it ends up just reverting to the secondary font choice, font-family: cursive. Well, the default "cursive" font isn't even a script, it's an aweful looking cartoony font that I don't like.

Is there a way to have the browser download and use a font so it shows up like I want it to in their browsers? It seems like there should be a way to include it somehow, and I'm sure it's very basic if there is, but I don't know how and my initial googling didn't turn anything up.

Check two FAQs in this forum how to do that in IE:

IMHO, it would depend on the fonts installed on each individual system, so will differ from system to system.

Since it is only for your friends and family use your chosen font to make a GIF or PNG image and then just display the image within and IMG tag.
