I am creating a web page...very early in the process as of now, but I used "Word Art" within Frontpage. From my computer at home, I used a fancy font. When I view it from work, the font in changed to a standard, plain font. Does each computer have to have that same font loaded in order to see it correctly? I was thinking that a web page in HTML will display, no matter what the font used to create?

Web Font Problem

And so it will, but only using those fonts available to the client machine.
If you're taking a "fancy font" and word arting it too, I'm guessing we're talking about a logo or title. In that case, you should convert the result into an image - which almost all clients will understand. Just remember to put the actual text content in an [tt]alt[/tt] attribute for those which can't.
