using a Font I created 1

[DougP]

I have a special font for my Logo.
When I view the WEB page on my computer the font looks like it should.

Other computers that don't have it on their PC it loads a default font instead.
Can I specify in my WEB p[age to use my font if I put it on the WEB site somewhere.

I tried this but it does not work.

<p><font face=&quot;

http://www.mywebsite.com/mylogo&quot;

size=&quot;5&quot;>Groovey WEB Site</font></p>

TIA
DougP, MCP

The user would have to download the font to use see it on the site. However you can put:

<font face=&quot;YourFont, Arial&quot;>

then if they don't have your font they will see another font, that looks good. that is default on computers. www.vzio.com

Thanks, but I want to use my font only.
Is'nt there a way to specify a font on the WEB server. DougP, MCP

not that I know of. It has to be on the users machine. www.vzio.com

Using Microsoft Weft you can do font embedding. It creates a special package for the font, then you state the source of the font in the CSS. It requires IE4+

denoxis,
Does this have to be installed on the WEB server itself?
So I would have to get in WEB hosting company to agree to put it on the Server that hosts my site, Right? DougP, MCP

you would use the WEFT program to create a file that you would then place into your website folder, i suggest on the root.

then in a CSS file have something that looks liks this:

@font-face {
font-family: Arial Black;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
src: url(/ARIALBL0.eot);
}

this will only work in IE it is not supported in NN, so people viewing your site in NN will get a default font. if you are only using this font in a logo then could you not just create a graphic?
