Font Quality Problems

[chestertb]

Hi all.

I'm trying to figure out why the fonts on my websites are not as clean and crisp and the fonts on everyone elses websites.

I'm pretty much using standard Arial for just about everything, but notice jagged edges and generally poor quality. If I switch to verdana, the small text improves, but anything over 12pt starts to break up again.

If it makes a difference, I use FrontPage to create the site.

Anyone got any suggestions?

And while we're on fonts... is there an easy way to build a font into my page so I don't have to rely on it being on the visitor's system?

Thanks Charles... I haven't forgotten that from before. Just wish the people who write the documentation for it would assume a little less, and take it down a notch or two.

Still doesn't explain why my fonts look hideous while other sites draw up just fine. Any thoughts?
