I have used MS Reference Sans Serif on my web site. It appears fine on my
computer, however when I view ( no the web) it on another computer, it
appears as Times. Is there a setting that I need to do other than TOOLS/PAGE
OPTIONS/DEFAULT FONTS

Thanks for reading this.
 
Fonts will only be displayed correctly if the computer looking at the code
has that specific font installed......and the only two really safe fonts are
Times New Roman and Arial. So options to get around this are:

1. (technical option) Use cascading style sheets to instruct the computer
to try font 1 first, then font 2, etc.
2. (slow option) Save your text as a picture / image and then insert this
image where you want the text to appear. However, this is a bad route as
search engines cannot read the text and the page will take longer to load.
3. Don't use anything other the Times New Roman or Arial!!!!

Good luck
 
Here are your only choices - Web safe fonts

If using a style sheet
Try using a font family like.
{font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;}

That will display in order listed. (If they don't have the first then the
second is used)
