Question

If I create a website with a font on my computer will everyone else be able to read it? ?

Answer 1

No.

They will have to have the font installed on their PC and will have to NOT have set options to show specific fonts in their browser.

Chances of both: 0% (unless it is a standard font).

Answer 2

Sorry, you can't.

It would be nice to have fonts embedded in a web page, but it's not possible (allowed) with today's browsers.

There are some things that are possible to do with Internet Explorer, BUT, not everybody uses Internet Explorer. I use Firefox, and other people use Safari or Opera.

You could ask every one of your users to download the font, then use CSS to set a font-family. That really isn't practical, though. You could take a look at flash -- it's possible to use custom fonts in that.

Answer 3

It depends on what font. What i do is i embed the font into the file, this makes sure that everyone can see that font even though they might not have it on their computer.
