Fonts

Hi, I have spent the past 8 hours trying to figure this out, i have searched this forum and have looked at tinymce, but i'm still confused, hopefuly someone can give me a little guidance. I have made some text on Ms word, which i had thought i could paste it into a new block giving the same font and colour as the word doc. Colour is not the problem as it's easily changed, but i wish to use a different font than available on the drop down of tinymce, how do i do this, do i need some sort of html or css (I don't understand much of either) the font i wish to use is lucida handwriting, i can use an alternative from font squirrel, but how do i impliment the font?
bcarone is right. Microsoft Word is not a web development tool and should not be used as one since it adds a ton of junk code that is not read well in a browser.
Many of the fonts provided by Word are not readable by everyone's system, so they have what they call "web-safe" fonts, which can be found here:http://www.ampsoft.net/webdesign-l/WindowsMacFonts.html...
If you're savvy enough, you could try something like embedding Google Fonts, which would give you more options.

Cutting and pasting from a MS Word is bad bad JUJU!!! It will copy ALL the code in your Word document and place it in TinyMCE and many of the fonts in MS Word just aren't available in displaying information on a web page. It is NOT a Concrete5 issue but a Browser issue.
Play around with it in TinyMCE. Look at the CODE behind your cut and paste and you will see what I mean.
Hope this helps a little.
