How can I embed a personal font onto my website? I know you have to upload it, but i'm not sure how to complete the task.

Only works in Internet Explorer.
Try this code: CODE <style type="text/css"> @font-face { font-family: Times New Roman; src:url(PUT FONT URL HERE); } </style> Here's a tutorial: http://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol3/css_no15.htm |

Thanks... so from what i've read, font embedding is only compatible with Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. Is this so? Will this not work with Firefox?

Cool. One last question, lol... Is there a way to use an alternative font, for firefox users? I'll just embed the personal font with IE, and use an alternative font for firefox, if at all possible.

You can do a flash site, I think that makes it so the font is viewable.
Also, I've seen some graphic artists' portfolio be in images for whatever text they have. Every blog they write, I noticed it was an image and they were custom fonts. xDD |
