You have two choices: Make the font file available for download on
your page (assuming it's a freeware font), with instructions on how to
install it; or make your web page with graphics (.jpg, .gif, or .png)
of the characters or of the entire diagram. For the latter, you can
use screen shots of diagrams that you set up in Word using the fonts;
I recommend SnagIt (www.techsmith.com) as the most flexible choice for
that.


Having the reader install the font is more than they should have to
do. I want to use the piece figurines in lines of text, which is easy
when inserting them as a symbol/character, but I wonder if inserting a
graphic each time is very practical. I'll look at Snagit.
