using a font in a website

Tuffgong4 · Jan 31, 2004

is there anyway to put code into your html to make sure that the font used is one that is uploaded to my server...or do I just have to leave it up to the persons computer to hopefully have the font?

i think you just upload the font to your server, then use the "font face=*UploadedFontName.fontextension*" test it out, i could be wrong.

where would that go in the code...under what tag

dubstar · Feb 1, 2004

upload the font to the server, to the directory that the page is viewed in.

then <.Font Face = UploadedFont.extension.>

or create a "file_name.css" file
then put

Code:

body {
   font-family: font_name;
   }

then in the html file, inside the <head> tag put

Code:

<link href="file_name.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Just stick with standard web-fonts. Otherwise you're excluding Windows users who don't use IE, FreeBSD Users, Mac Users, BeOS Users, Linux Users, and all other none-windows operating system users.
