Answer 1

Learn CSS


That just might work. 25% chance it will but hey it's worth a try.

If not and you do know PHP then here's what you can do.
In every peice of text use an ereg statement. For example you would have PHP look for every f in the text. Then replace that with an image of that "f".
The one realy good part of this is that no one can copy your text and claim it was their own work easily.
The bad side is some people in order to make the sites they visit load faster will turn images off. They won't see any text. As well this will slow down loading by a few seconds and may put a little more stress on your server.
There are fonts that i'm sure you will like offered through CSS. Google "CSS fonts" and i'm sure you'll find something.

Hope this helps.

What the browser does, when it is told to read a font that it does not recognise, is scroll down the site visitor's font list, and uses the first it recognises - which is almost always Arial.

Anyway, that's just what I'd do.

first of all you should neva try to use non-standard fonts as a main font, because not everyone has the fonts on their computer. plus, you cannot force a font to install to a user's computer.

to use those non-standard fonts u will need to convert it to an image and display it as an image, that way everyone sees what you see on your computer.

you could't, you could only exhibit on the internet what the consumer can exhibit all alone computing device. If the computing device would not understand the request it really is going to easily ignore about it always. in case you opt for to apply an image, you ought to be able to do it in paint as worst case senario, paintshop once you've it / can arise with the money for it.

Answer 5

you can rasterize or break apart the fonts that you want to be different. then it will be an image and not type.
