Or perhaps at your front page, suggest that folks download the font and
provide a link to it.  That is what I did with Verdana a couple of years
ago.  I suspect most folks have picked up since then.  It is a Great Font!
Of course Papyrus looks good as well.

(...) Be careful with that -- few good fonts are freely redistributable. (27 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.publish)

Thanks John and Matthew, I made Verdana the back up font on some of my pages, I will have to finish the rest sometime. Verdana does look pretty good, and its shipped on Mac and Win now. I will look into making the font downloadable... sometime. -- (...) (27 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.publish)
