Since it is highly unlikely that everyone else will have the fonts you have, you can put, in your FONT tag, code to let browsers choose from a list of given fonts. For example, if you use Arial in your webpage, but you know that Helvetica or Geneva would be ok, you can just create a comma-separated list of fonts that you would like the page to use. Use your primary font choice first, then provide secondary choices.

For this example, we would use:

<FONT FACE="arial,helvetica,geneva">

When you want to stop using one of these fonts, again, just use this tag:

</FONT>.
