How to use a font for a web site?
If you specify a particular font in your web pages which is not installed on the visitor’s machine, it will be replaced by the default font in his browser, Usually Times New Roman.
Of course, you can specify several fonts in the CSS by priority order, but nothing is guaranteed.
The 4 main solutions:
- to realize a title with a particular font, the easiest method is to make an image. Use a drawing program and save the image as .gif (or .jpg if there are too many shades of colour, or .png).
- for a long text and only under IE, you can embed the fonts so visitors will download them at the same time as the pages. Details
- for a long text under any browser, you can use this script
- generate an image with PHP
