watthehell Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 hi all Can we use other fonts apart from the fonts that comes in windows for our webpage ... Can we use it online. IF yes, then where we have to keep the font in the server. ? Can we specify a font folder and keep the fonts there ? Thnks...

AndyB Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 the only fonts that display with a browser are the fonts that exist on the visitor's computer.

ToonMariner Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 not quite true.... NOW this doesn't work in FF BUT the method has been approved/recommended by the web standards people.. You will need to download the WEFT tool. use this to create an eot file which you can then upload to your server.... to embed this font in a page use the following css... @font-face { font-family: MyNewFont; src:url(relative/path/to/file.eot) } then simply give which ever elements you require x { font-family: MyNewFont, Arial, sans-serif; } NOW when a visitor comes to your site (and their browser allows this to happen) the page will load with Arial or sans-serif initially. A soon as the machine has downloaded the eot file the page will change to your font. http://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol3/css_no15.htm - a page I just found.

ToonMariner Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 IE is still the 'dominant' force but only just - nothing like what it used to be... Perhaps we could petition FF to accept this technology????
