Hello again everyone, i have some douts about the fonts i am using to build my site, i had mix some letters from differents fonts in a text but when i use system recovery all the fonts just disappeared, and of course the letters in the text where replace for other fonts, does this mean that if i use fonts that the visitors to my site do not have in theirs computers they are not gonna see the right font but the letters are replace with the leters they have on their computer???

That's exactly right about the fonts. When you specify a font in your web page I will only see it if I have that font installed on my computer. If you want to make sure that everyone sees the same font you need to make that portion of text an image. Typically though it's best to have text be text for other reasons.

The general rule of thumb online (as far as your main content) is to use basic fonts that most people will have at least as a fallback.

You can specify more than one font for a given heading or paragraph and list them in the order you want people to see them. So using css to speciy the fonts for a parapgraph the code might be:

p {font-family:arial, verdana. georgia, sans-serfi}

Ok I haven't picked the fanciest fonts, but the idea is when I look at your site my browser will render the text using arial. if for some reason I don't have arial installed on my computer I'll see verdana, then georgia, and finally whatever my default sans-serif font is.

You can use this to place the fonts you would like people to see your pages with first in the chain and then list other fonts if they don't have the first one installed. Always end the chain of fonts with some basic ones you know everyone will have and always end with either sans-serif or serif.

Just keep in mind they may not be able to see the font you really want to use. The only way to be sure they see your font is to use an image.
