You can use the fonts in images. That always works. You can also make it so that you generate the images on the fly with PHP. Either way, you can use the font that you like, and your visitors will see it.

Yup, I second snlildude's suggestion. Unless you're planning some massive paragraphs with this particular font, just settle for images. It works nicely and looks good too! (once again, as long as it's not some 100MB image file XD)

This is not a failproof solution, but I heard it does work, I tried it at one time BUT because I used external CSS it didn't work (the program creates inline css and I ended up with conflicts etc etc so I gave up after finding out that a lot of webbies had similar issues)
Google for WEFT (it's an MS product that only uses the letters you use of a certain font, and then creates an OEF or EOF file so that visitors of your site can see the font, without having it installed on the pc - but like I said it's not fail proof) |

I have tried using that Microsoft thing before and it didn't work (causing conflicts left right and centre) so I made the text an image and used that. If you are planning on writing paragraphs with this font then use a web-safe font that is easy to read.

But, it requires flash. You can make an empty document with a white background (or whatever color the background of your site is), and make a dynamic text box. If this font is installed in your system, select the text box and then choose the font you want it to be. Click on the "character" button. Click on specify ranges and select uppercase, lowercase, numerals, and punctuation. This way flash includes all of those characters of the font. Next give the dynamic text box a variable (example text). Now upload the swf, and call it the name of your font. Then whenever you want this text on your site, place the swf there, and add the variable text to the url. Example: www.yoursite.com/nameoffont.swf?text=put whatever text you want to show up here!!! You can use the same swf for all the text on your site. This saves space, and the swf will be small because the only thing in it is the font information. To change or update the text just change the varialble in your source!!!! If you have any questions just post it here, i will be happy to answer them. |

I think that there is some way you can use a font that is located on the same server (FTP/upload the font file to a folder of your site), but I do not remember exactly how you include it in your page. Best bet would be an image...
Sorry I can't help and hope you get it working! |
