There is a free tool from Microsoft called WEFT 3.2 (Microsoft Web Embedding Fonts Tool).

Microsoft has a web page devoted to this topic...

http://www.microsoft.com/typography/...ame=%20&fsize=

Download link:

First thanks U.N.C.L.E to reply.
I see WEFT but it require to be WEFT installed on every client computer.
So what is the benifet of WEFT (9.26 mb space). Instead of this why not i instal font file (.ttf) which is about 200 kb.

Problem is that, how can i instal my font file to client's computer.

If i am going wrong then plz show me straight line.

Waiting for your answer.

Thanks
Burhan

WEFT is the tool to convert your font to a web installable resource. Then in your html page you have something like this:

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!--
@font-face {
    font-family: OCR A Extended;
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    src: url(ocraext0.eot);
}
-->
</STYLE>

So basically you take a TTF font and convert it to a EOT file and store it on your web host and within your html you have a reference to the EOT file on the server.

When the page displays, it pushes the emmbedded font to your client IE browser.

Also take a look at the demos page:

http://www.microsoft.com/typography/...ng/default.htm

When displaying one of the demos, take a look at the html. It is pretty clear that your client won't have to install any fonts whatsoever on their system, or for that matter WEFT, because IE handles displaying the page in your chosen font!
