I have this font on my windows 2000 system..<br />
its the 'chiller' font.<br />
but ive seen my site on other windows systems and they dont have the font on their system. so my site looks different.<br />
<br />
can i load this font into their winXX/font directory?<br />
or is there something else i can do<br />
<br />
any advice would be appreciated.<!--content-->The best option is to list optional fonts in the CSS, the last being the generic type.<br />
