NEW FONTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there a way to add new fonts to FCKeditor? When I paste a Word document into the editor that uses fonts other than what is listed, it changes the font to the default. I would like to use the fonts that I have in Word, etc.

Thanks for any help.

RE: NEW FONTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are only a few select fonts that are available on the majority of machines, these are considered web-safe fonts:

w3c offers less standardized fonts, but also has information on how you can embed a custom font in your page:

As far as retaining fonts when pasting from word... well you're on your own there... its not something that I would recommend even if it could be done. Word should be stripped of it non-standard formatting when pasting in to a page due to its poor code. Styles and fonts should be applied in a style sheet, not in inline code.
