web safe fonts?

[aabutterplace]

I've converted my most unusual font to a graphic so it will show properly on all browsers, but I want to use bradley hand itc for my link bar (I only have 5 links) and leave it as text rather than a graphic. Is Bradley Hand ITC safe to use for this purpose or will it be distorted on many browsers?

Thanks!

No ..

have a look here .. http://www.ampsoft.net/webdesign-l/WindowsMacFonts.html

If you wanted to use bradley hand for your navigation buttons, you could create your own in an image editing program and use those ..

If you look under tips and tricks (I believe it is) you can find a thread on creating and installing your own navigation buttons.

If you are dead-set on using BradleyHandITC, consider using the BV LogoMaker .... you can use this to make headers/banners, in-page text section heads (headlines) or other useful applications.

Note that anything created by the BV Logomaker will not be "read" by most printers, nor included in any printout of a webpage by the visitor...(which makes it somewhat inconvenient when using page headers or other "Branded" elements....
