With an application like Paint Shop Pro, you can create fonts, and most anything else you like and save it in many different formats like GIF, JPG, BMP...ect, then you can use that on a web site.

Any font that can be typed out on your computer will have to be on other computers as well, or their computer cannot reproduce it. For instance, say you actually write the necessary code to make a font that is different from what comes with Windows, ect...and you create a web page using your own font, nobody else can see it as you do because they do not have that font on their machine to reproduce it onscreen.

When I first made my home page site, I located a site that had many different fonts and pics to be used at homepage sites for free...I downoladed several of these fonts from Aa to Zz and used that to build my page with. Then, I got myself a copy of Paint Shop Pro, and learned how to create my own fonts, ect.

Paint shop pro? Sounds cool.

Also what sites let you download free fonts?
Like futuristic looking fonts.

Most of the sites I used 5 years ago are gone now...go to Google and do a search for fonts or... free fonts

Neat. Thank you.

IMHO, Photo Impact is MUCH easier and cooler looking than Paint Shop Pro.
