you don't wanna use too much custom stuff for the actual main text of the website, it will make it hard to read and might make people lose interest. For logos and headings though, yeah sure.
Quite simply, google.com is your friend.
A simple "futuristic fonts" or "classic fonts" or even "website fonts" should bring up a fair number of pages with fonts able to download, and if it brings up lots of sites where you are asked to pay for fonts, then type either "free ___ fonts" (__ being the style you want) or even browse around for a specific font you may like and then search for that filename on google might get some naughty download pirates offering it for free :]. To be honest though, you don't wanna use too much custom stuff for the actual main text of the website, it will make it hard to read and might make people lose interest. For logos and headings though, yeah sure.
here are some...
http://www.1001freefonts.com/ http://www.fontparadise.com/ http://www.wantedfonts.com/ the last 2 sites are preety good. instead of having the fonts ordered in alphabetic order (like many other font sites do), it has the fonts divided by category, which is very useful. in case you don't know, after downloading the fonts you want, you need to install them. (before installing, close photoshop or whichever graphic program you're using) go to start -> control panel -> fonts. then go to file -> install new font. and choose the location!
or...
you can go to http://www.dafonts.com But then sometimes the fonts are avaible in more than one site~~ 
so downloading the fonts is the most obvious option.. Thank you guys for the webpages, I will certainly check them out!
Now that I have some beautiful fonts, I wonder if I use one on my site, are visitors, who haven't got the font installed, able to read the text? Does the browser deliver a sort of 'package' (-> the relevant font) with the site..How does it work exactly?
I will ask my question again, hoping someone can answer it this time: will visitors of my site will be able to read the text ("animated" with the special font) even if they haven't installed the special font.
If the answer to my question is 'yes', how does it work exactly? Does the browser deliver a sort of 'package' (-> the relevant font) with the site?  Anyone?
gotcha41: will visitors of my site will be able to read the text ("animated" with the special font) even if they haven't installed the special font.
if the visitor he doesnt have the font you used, it will automatically change to the "default" font, which is times new roman. my advice is to use the font in photoshop (or any other program you use) and save it as an image (jpg, gif, whatever =P ). that way, all the ppl will be able to see your special font!  hope that helps. btw, what are you gona do with the font? a header for your site?
I will use the special font for the buttons, which are actually just simple links, in the menu-bar of my site
 But I think I will use/have to use images to make the special font visible for everyone, as you suggested.. Anyway,Thanks for responding 
You only have to put the text in the button in photoshop or something like it and then save the button as jpg or whatever

But when you think about it, there's enough standard fonts to use for regular body text. Staying within a certain degree to the regular styles is probably better than having some fancy style that would probably be hard to read anyway. To get special sections such as titles or headers in a more unique font to make it stand out--can always make it a graphic.
You can't use special fonts on yoru website because other people who don't have them can not see them...only you can or another person who has the same font...if you want the special fonts in an image on your website then thats okay just not as like text or link or anything
Well you can put special fonts actually...but you have to direct he font SRC to a place where the font type is uploaded.....it's not the same as a normal font type file... QUOTE(Mechablitz @ Nov 13 2004, 08:59 PM) that's actually very easy. first you have to upload the font to a folder in you website (it doesn't matter where it can even be on a different webstie) make sure the font is .ttf or something. Then you insert a html tag that lets you use a specail font for your site even if it's not a picture. I forgot the html tag so you have to google that piece of information out on your own  Does the visitor have to install this font by oneself or does it 'work' automatically? because when it has to be installed, not everyone will do this i guess so the effect of the special font will be lost
QUOTE(Bexa @ Oct 9 2004, 04:20 PM) There are special websites where you can use already uploaded special fonts for your website which every one can see not just you. I don't know where to get them but some of my friends get them off japenese websites... If you do find out any tell me. javascript:CheckLength() Check Post Length that's actually very easy. first you have to upload the font to a folder in you website (it doesn't matter where it can even be on a different webstie) make sure the font is .ttf or something.
