Ok I know that this is stupid but hey! It is late and I am too tired to think. I have posted my site that was created in dreamweaver. I then viewed it on another computer and all of the fonts are different than what I created for the site. I know that there is something I should have done to “raster” the site but for the life of me I don’t know how or should I say where. Can anyone help me?
If the user doesn’t have the font installed on their system, the user can’t view the font.
The only way around that would be to make all your text as .gif images and using them instead.
There used to be a way embed fonts in an HTML page via CSS, but due to differences between browser types, most companies stopped making the software to convert the fonts. I think only IE supports that ability now, and it is quite more trouble than it’s worth :x
ok will have to do the gif thing. Thanks though i was losing my mind
i think it would be much better to just change your front then make everything a image…that would increase page load quite a bit…unless of course your only using this font for a banner or something…
or have a group of fonts that look alike or something.
like “times new roman, geneva…”
(throwing out font names donno if those look alike)
The most common groups are…
Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif
Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif
Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif
Times New Roman, Times, serif
Courier New, Courier, mono
Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif
The commas are there to seperate each one, and it basically sets an order…
Default font – if viewer doesn’t have – backup font 1 – if viewer doesn’t have – backup font 2 – if user doesn’t have – backup font 3. Etc, etc.
^good to know. thanks. hmm also you might try substituting pixel fonts with tahoma at a size of 1 if you were using pixel fonts…but that was just some info anyway.
Just make them pictures or use the fonts that everybody has on their computer, I personally like Tahoma, but thats just me…
