Does anyone know how to use either ASP or client side script to check and 

see if a computer has a particular font installed, and if the font is not

installed automatically install it ?

ActiveX Control or signed VBScript perhaps.



Basically installing a font involves changing the client's computer

configuration. You're not going to be able to do that with straight HTML or

javascript, and you can't do it without the user's permission. You certainly

can't do it with ASP (since that runs entirely on the server).
