As @mjoe points out, you can specify any font you want, but it will only work for visitors who have the same font on their machines. The only standard html fonts are serif, sans-serif, monospace, cursive, and fantasy. The actual look of the font depends on the browser in use, and varies considerably for the last two. For the most part, this is just the facts of life on the www. If you absolutely have to have a font, you can make a graphic with it to use as a header.

The problem with using specific fonts on HTML is that, they are required at the client machines.

In other words if you used "Lucida Handwriting" then you have to use it within quotes if it has spaces. This will appear only if the PC/Computer you are looking at has the font installed. So it's always preferred to use some of the default fonts like Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Georgia.

If you really want the font to appear the way you want, you can convert them in to images and use them. The other way is to use the sIRF by Mike Davidson.

Fonts in HTML are generally in "families". Not like what you would find in a word processor program like Word or Works. There are only a handful of fonts that are regularly recognized by the various kinds of browsers users use.
