embed it first.. you can use weft, dl it here. then just put this in your css:

CODE

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->

@font-face {
font-family: NAMEOFFONT;
font-style:  normal;
font-weight: normal;
src: url(NAMEOFFONT01.eot);
}

<!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

i think there's a font embedding tutorial somewhere around here, you can try and search ;o

i think you're asking how to dl a font. when u dl.. save it on desktop so u can see it. then unzip/extract it.. then go to the start menu and go to run... and go to C:\WINDOWS\Fonts .. after go back to the unzipped font and drag it into the fonts window. thats how u dl it. make sure all programs are closed so it will show up later.

or just click the link from the previous post

LiLCandyAngel, synkro, & crazeegirl411 were big help! thank you very mucho!

i got it figured out now...i`ll just sticky this page and the other to remember how to do this.

oh...another thing..the font i downloaded will show up in my font list for microsoft word?

because i didn`t really see it in microsoft word after i put the font i wanted in the FONTS folder..

You get Winzip (Go To: Winzip.com and download it) download the font, and unzip it. Then you go to Start > Control Panel > Fonts and drag it into your font folder.

when i download new fonts it sometimes helps if I close MS Word, open the fonts from the WINDOWS/fonts folder (you'll see a window showing you the font with the sentence 'a quick brown fox..blahblah') and close 'em, and then re-open MS word to look for the fonts. it works on my comp, but it may not on yours. best of luck!

sorry...i tried that....and it didn`t really work...

Hrm.. that's interesting. It should show up on Microsoft Word.. like right after you put it in your fonts folder? You should close MSWord and then re-open it.. HRRMMM interesting..

Did you look through the whole list? Sometimes on Adobe, my fonts tend to go all the way at the bottom of the list instead of alphabetical order.

i know yall are giving me the right instructions...but for some reason, MS Word is being gay......
