Now, that I finally got my website to show up, I have some Front Page questions.  If I have a font installed on my computer, is there a way to use this on front page and have everyone see my website in this font?

Congratulations on getting your site to show.

Because of the way the web works, your users have to have the font installed on their computers. If they don't have it, their browser will substitute a font, usually Times Roman (a serif font) or Arial (a sans-serif font). That's why most sites use either Times Roman or Arial or Verdana. The other reason is that these are easier to read on a computer monitor.

For a banner or other modest bit of text in a fancy font, you can capture the screen then save and display it as a GIF image. But this is not recommended for large amount of type.
