The browser, which is running on the user's PC, only has access to fonts on that user's PC. IF you want to display using fonts from the server you need to put the text in an image.

[redarrow]

can you kindly show me an example please and were to get the font from cheers.

[Barand]

Well, the last time you asked me for an example was for a calendar script. When I had time (a couple of hours, and not the 10mins you believed) I wrote and then posted the script and sent you a PM to tell you it was there. As I never received any acknowledgement for my efforts, you are a liitle low on credit for my time.

You can use [url=http://www.fontfreaks.com]FontFreaks[/url] and can find some nice free ttf fonts. I am sure that you already know how to use a font in an image, right?


Good luck,
Tom

There are some posibilities in regard to embeding fonts in html, but really, this has nothing to do with php.

[ToonMariner]

you can 'force' the font to be downlaoded!

Now I tried this a while back and it only worked in IE at the time but some reading did indicate that other browsers would take it up.....

You will need to get the MS WEFT tool ([url=http://www.microsoft.com/typography/web/embedding/weft3/]http://www.microsoft.com/typography/web/embedding/weft3/[/url])

create an .eot file from teh font you need.

in your css put the following

@font-face { font-family: "New Font"; src: url(http://www.ursite.com/font/newfont.eot); }

New Font can be anything you want of course - you will define that....

NOW any text on your site that you wish to use that font on ( example here is a title header)
the html....

<h1 id="title">YOUR TITLE</h1>

the css...

h1#title { font-family: "New Font", Verdana, sans-serif; }

When a user visits the page and the don't have 'New Font' the page will display in the next font in the list BUT as soon as the font has been downloaded the page will refresh with your new font - and shoudl be cached for the next time they visit....
