I have had an ongoing problem with frames (colored boxes or simple lines around a text), backgrounds (wallpaper on my homepage, for instance), and fonts.

Is it possible to post on this forum using fonts that are available on my hard drive - Americana, Lucinda, etc.?
Not talking size or italics or bold here - those I've been able to master.

Thanks!

Yes and no. If the displaying system (my browser) has a font loaded on it that you defined then it will display correctly. If the displaying system does not, then it will try to interpret the font and display the closest font that it has loaded. You can get really weird looking results on different machines.

As mikemad has replied, you can do so, but it may not display correctly for everyone on the forum.

For example, if you post using font xxx, and you have it installed on your computer, then it will display in xxx. However, anyone else that looks at the page, but does not have the font installed, then their web browser will display your text in the default font set in their browser (i.e. Times New Roman, etc.).

To use the fonts on your computer, simply use the <font face="chosen font face">text here</font> tags.
