"I need a specific font in order to make a webpage - I want to copy my client's logo."

Please note that readers of your web page will not view *text* in the original/desired typeface unless they have the font in question installed on their machine. Your best bet would be to include the client's logo as a .gif or .jpg or other *graphics* file; this will assure that everyone who surfs to the page will see the logo as intended.

(Unless there's a way to *embed* a font in a web page, similar to what you can do when creating a PDF.)

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that the *only* fonts you can use on a web page with any assurance they will be seen all or most viewers are Ariel/Helvetica, Times [Roman](or Times New Roman), and Courier (or equivalent monospaced "typewriter" font). If any unknown font pops up, the local user's computer automatically uses Ariel for all sans-serif fonts (Helveitica if it's an Apple), Times for all serif fonts, and Courier for all monospaced fonts.

Then there are a couple of obscure sans-serifs installed on all Win98-or-later machines, but not necessarily on Macs & older Wintels -- Trebuchet and Verdana. Used on a web page, these fonts will be viewable by *most* surfers, but not all.

Are there any such fonts BESIDES the aforementioned Ariel, Times, and Courier?
