Designer Font Not Showing on Published Site

I designed myself a new web site using FrontPage 2003 and used a designer
font that I'd purchased for some of the text. The font shows fine on my
machine - it looks good in FrontPage, and when I view it using Internet
Explorer the fancy text is all there. However I found out that when the site
is viewed on other machines (that don't have the font installed) that the
fancy text defaults to Times New Roman - not the text effect I was after, or
paid good money for.

Anybody know how to fix this? Short of creating the text as a jpg and
inserting it into my web page as an image - i'd rather keep it as a text file.

Thanks,

Andrea.
 
If the visitor doesn't have the font installed on their computer, they will
not see it. It will default to Times Roman, or whatever they have their
browser default set to.

Andrea -

As you've discovered, the user's browser will only display fonts that exist on the
user's machine. You're going to have to create a graphic image of the text using
that font in order for the font to be displayed as you wish on all computers.
