Could you be more specific regarding HOW you are accessing and plan to use the fonts in 1st Page?

Are the installed fonts available to other programs? If not, you must INSTALL the fonts so they register in your system, it is often not enough just to copy to the fonts directory. Read the Microsoft directions:click here (http://www.office.microsoft.com/assistance/2000/OFontAddRemove.aspx)

When creating a font tag for a web page (using Format|Fonts . . . in 1st Page) remember that if you select a font like obscure.ttf that doesn't exist on the user's system, then they will see the page in their default font. If you use a less common font, give the font you want as 1st choice, but a number of alternatives as well.

For example: <font face="obscure, arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Your text</font>
or as a style <font style="font-face: obscure, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Your text</font>

If someone didn't have obscure.ttf on their system they would substitute arial (on Win systems) or helvetica (on Mac systems) or if all else fails, use some form of sans-serif font.
