in a website I built in front page, I used a font which exits on my computer
("liberate").
when I look at my website on my computer it is presented correctely.
The problem is that when it is presented on other computers which don't have
this font, the text is presented in "Ariel" font.

Is there a way to make sure that the text will be presented in its original
font ?
 
Not reliably
(there is a technology call WEFT but it has many problems - including security)
- use a std font

Not unless the user has that font on their machine (fonts are controlled by
the Operating System, not by Frontpage).

The standard advice often found on this group is to use "web safe" fonts
such as Arial, Times Roman, MS Trebuchet, Verdana; web safe fonts are those
most likely to be found on any user's computer.

If you want to use special fonts, do so sparingly - use them for example, as
titles; create a gif image of the text in the fancy font and insert that in
your page(s).
 
thanks for the help. it is a usefull advice
