[FX.php List] [OT] How to display special fonts in an HTML page

[Bob Patin]

This is probably easier than I'm making it, but so far I've had zero  
luck:

I have a very big client who needs some pages displayed using  
specific fonts and sizes. They've provided the fonts to me, which  
I've installed in my Mac and used to design some simple test pages in  
Dreamweaver.

The problem is that, even though Dreamweaver shows the fonts as I've  
used them, when I go on the web, or preview in my browser, I see  
generic fonts.

Am I mistaken, or isn't it possible to use special fonts in HTML  
pages, provided the site visitor has the fonts installed on his  
system? Since I have the fonts installed (one of them is Cheltenham,  
for example), shouldn't I be able to see the pages with the  
appropriate fonts?

Is there some special trick that I need to use in my HTML that will  
make this work properly?

Thanks for any wisdom,

Bob Patin
