message font question...

If I use a font that is on my system that the other user does not have...

what font will he/she see as a replacment?

If I want the other person to see it I have to send them the font if I am
not mistaken?

thanks

They will see the default font which if I'm not mistaken is Arial. And yes
you'd have to do that.

Well, if all fonts were free......

Embedding would be the solution -- Word/Office et al takes that approach.
