Hello!
Erm..I'm not sure if this topic has been opened before.
But I really need help on this.
I've downloaded fonts frm dafonts.com etc.
And I wanted to use those fonts on html document.

For example,using normal fonts are like this..
CODE
<font face="Arial">Hello!</font>

Then..what about using those downloaded fonts?
Cos if I code them like this..
CODE
<font face="Pea Amy">Hello!</font>

It will show up this font at my comp but for others , they cant see that. _unsure.gif
I hope you guys could help me out with this!
Thanks!;DDD

Yes, if other people have not downloaded that font of yours, they will not be able to see it. If you really want that font and have others see it as well, you will have to go into Photoshop or whatever photo-editing program you have, create a text image, and then post it on your website, or wherever it is you want it.

After you've saved and optimized the graphic for web use, go to a free photo hosting site, and upload your image there.

Well when you download them and they don't work online, you can upload them to like geocities or somewhere and then put them font url in css and it should work. Like this explains: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/m...757(VS.85).aspx
