custom fonts Options

[DrNick311]

I've seen several examples of people embedding custom fonts on their Xangas (ie. Roxanne's latest Gadget Tech skin.) I have two questions:

1 - How do I make the font into .EOT format (like Roxanne did)?
2 - Is it possible to just upload TrueType fonts and embed those?

Once you've created the .eot file, upload it somewhere and add this to your css:

CODE

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->
@font-face {
font-family: "NameGoesHere";
src: url("http://fileurl.eot");
}
<!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

For font-family, give your embedded font a name.

Then for every instance in your css that you give a font family, put in whatever name you used for the font-family in the code above.

ex:

CODE

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->
@font-face {
font-family: "techy";
src: url("http://xquizit.cbstaff.com/fonts/techy.eot");
}
body, font, td {
font-family: "techy";
}
<!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->
