umm? you mean download fonts and use them? you download them, unpack them, install them onto your computer, and then next time you're using whatever design program you use (photoshop, etc) the font will be in the drop down list with all of your other fonts.

u can just upload the file via file manager on the cpanel or ftp

if you mean to upload them and use it on the site thinking people will see the same font... then no that won't work. only the people who have that font installed will be able to see the font.

nobody will see the font except for you and people who specifically have it installed. if you want other people to see it, you're going to have to install onto your computer and use it. Write with it on your graphics in photoshop, etc...

Not possible. Just use it as you would with another default font, the only difference is... some people may not see it due to the fact that they don't have that font installed on their system.

Perhaps on a splash page when you enter the site, you can make a notice to tell viewers/users that before opening the page that they should download the specific font to be able to see the webpage as purposley desigined for.

only as a file to be uploaded not to be "unstalled" and used to create the text on your page
