Could someone please provide the code to make all the text in an html show up in a particular font even if the computer it is viewed on does not have that font. I'm using a CSS, and I'm trying to use the @Font-Face class, but it doesn't seem to be working. The font I want it in is on the server and I've inlcuded the src in the @Font-Face part. Do I need to put the 'body, td, tr' part in the @Font-Face braces?

Haven't tried it, but supposedly it works :-)

There are only two stupid questions: the one you don't ask, and the one you ask more than once ;)

Embedded fonts are part of the standard, however, there is no standard for embedded fonts!

Seem like a paradox? It is.

The @font-face at rule currently only works with a Microsoft proprietary .eot embedded font format. You can obtain the software necessary to convert fonts installed on your OS to web-embeddable fonts from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/...ame=%20&fsize=

Another solution exists, which works in Gecko and MSIE, AKAIK, and this is the pfr format. This requires their plugin to be installed and does not use the @font-face at rule provided by CSS.

The problem with embedded fonts is there is no standard embedded font file format!

So, if you're using the MS solution and have followed the instructions for referencing the .eot file, all you have to do is reference that font by its normal name in the font-family property. You'll only see the embedded font on the webpage in question if that font isn't already installed on the computer.

HTH!

It should be font-family not font-face.

Why? He's talking about the at rule.

here's ur css code
<style type="text/css">
body {font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold}
</style>

u can still change the font family and the font weight.
It must wrk, try it.

How will that work on Linux or Mac where "Arial" is potentially not installed or is the same font as on Windows? The poster's question is how to embed fonts in a webpage not how to specify them.
