What does "get on every computer with" mean? If you mean you want to
have your web site be displayed in the font called "MS Sans Serif", you
mostly can't, even though you mostly can. First, I don't think MS Sans
Serif is a font, but a request to use one of many sans serif fonts (the
browser will use its default sans serif font, which is probably arial,
but could be anything). I don't have a font called "MS Sans Serif" on
my (windows 98) computer.
In the case where it =is= a specific font, you can request that the
browser use it, but the font must be available on the computer for that
to work, otherwise the browser will use the "next best thing".
Remember, users may not want =your= font, they may well want =their=
font (and size). That should be honored.
That said - Arial is a dumass font for the net since it confuses several
letters and numbers, leading to easy impersonation.
