Prof. Murtagh,
How do you get different fonts to put on a web page? I tried downloading free fonts off the internet, but it seems like you need a plug-in to do that, but none of the right plug-ins are compatible with Macs. Is there an easier way to get more interesting fonts?

The big issue is not how you download fonts but whether it is safe to assume that others who view your page will have them or be willing to download them to see your page looking the way you intended. As a result of this concern, I haven't used the font face attribute much. So, the best I can do is suggest a page that discusses changing font faces that might help you.

Tom
