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

[Bob Patin]

Well, I tried it both ways; it works fine in Firefox, fails in Safari  
for both my client and myself.

I tried CSS over and over; I really don't think it's an error in the  
pages since Dreamweaver creates all the CSS tags on its own. In this  
case, the client has the desired fonts on all the company computers.  
It's a huge retail company and they require that this particular web  
app uses the specific fonts that they've indicated, since this app is  
for printing signage.

Thanks,

Bob
