is there a way to make a web page display a certain font face, without every user having that font installed onto their hard drive?

Most GUI programs such as Studio 8 or Dreamweaver MX 2004 have set standard fonts. In order to change the font to your choice, you would need to go into the HTML code page and stipulate the font design

Example:
Or you can design the font in Photoshop, Fireworks or another similar type program and save as a jpg and insert as an image.
Take into consideration that if you change the font to a font not supported by the software, there is a possibility that your chosen font will not display as you want on certain browser windows (this also depends on the viewers' operating system)

You have to use an image if it is not a default font on the user's computer.
