Hi all

Have a customer that wants a specific font included in her web page
design; Comic Sans MS. This is one of the MS core fonts. The problem
I have is that some of the *nix browsers do NOT include these fonts by
default.

http://www.diamondvet.com/test renders those fonts correctly using an
XP box. After I installed those fonts on my machine, firefox and
mozilla both rendered them correctly. So here is the question:

How do I get whatever surfer to download the proper font file? Sure,
it can be an option given to the surfer, but how can I find out what
fonts are available, then show the surfer a message or something? Is
this an automagic thing? Am I going about this all wrong?

Thanks in advance.
