At the moment, there is no cross-browser way to determine if a font is installed on an end system. The best you can do is to use either a graphic in-place of the text, or use something like siFr. Both of these methods are only suitable for headings though. Have you looked at what standard fonts are available to you? The list at http://www.ampsoft.net/webdesign-l/WindowsMacFonts.html is quite good at showing these. You can use CSS to give fallback fonts in order of what you prefer. There are meant to be plans on how to handle these sorts of situations in CSS3 though, but you may have to wait a year for the browsers to adopt! Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
