I am building a website using Splash! Web Author but all of the fonts suck on there. So I downloaded like 5 more cool one but when I go to Wordpad or anything like that it doesn't show up in the Font options, I have to type the name of the font to get it up. But on my website builder I can't type the name of the font so I need to know how to get it on there. Thanks.

Your website builder has to support dynamic fonts (see link) if you want to specify fancy fonts, and your visitors will have to download them to see them. Basic HTML supports five font families: serif, sans-serif, monospace, cursive, and fantasy. Exactly what fonts are used to display these types depends on the browser.
You can specify other fonts if you're reasonably sure your visitors will have them on their computers. If you put in your HTML code, it's just going to display the user's default for 99.9% of your visitors.
Remember there's really no such thing as a WYSIWYG html editor. After you put your web pages up, look at them with other people's browsers. In some cases they will look quite different.

You can't. The font is "selected" by the browser and, if not installed on the recipient machine, it won't show (a replacement font will be used). Google "Safe Web Fonts". There are just a dozen of fonts that are (nearly) guaranteed to work on all browsers and machines.
