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.

  Thanks, John,
  I went through a whole bunch of fonts, and the Papyrus font looked
really cool, and I didn't even stop to think if others could see it.
Eventually, I'll have to redo the page... that'll be fun!

If you really prefer that font, why not make the titles in that font into
low-bandwith gif files?  (Images of text are easy to get down to less
than 2Kb.)

(...) Be careful with that -- few good fonts are freely redistributable. (25 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. -- (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.publish)
