i found a really cool script that allows you to put ANY font you want onto your site (it's CSS). The script is:
@font-face {font-family: "whatever the font name is"; src: url(/filename.eot)}

All you have to do is substitute whatever the font name is and the filename (of the font). your font must be saved as .eot extension. u can convert fonts into .eot using WEFT (downloadable at http://www.microsoft.com/typography/web/embedding/weft2/ ) u have to upload the font to your server and VIOLA! any body on the web can see your font! :flower:

Woah!!! THATS SWEET!!!! cool thanks :)

I'm not sure, but I think that only works in Internet Explorer.

Wow thats cool, so they can see any font!

I wouldnt have a clue how to do it tho. sounds too confusing to me, im still not great at this pc lark LOL

thats is cool! thanks for shareing it with us!!!

omg, thats awesome! thanx! :)

But.. why would you want to use it if only people with IE5+ with font embedding capabilities and font embedding enabled can see it? I use IE5.5 but have disabled font embedding. Isn't it better to code to be compatible with most people's settings?

My whole sites set up for people with IE+5, i dont belive in all that stuff about makin it compatable for everybody. i use site meter which gives u loads of stats and only about 3% use natscape and only about 2% have under IE+5. Call me evil but they shoud get a better one LOL

I'm evil too then, starlet, 'cause I totally agree with you! :lol:

i don't make my site netscape compatable.

satellite, that's pretty nifty! i'll have to use it sometime, thanx for sharing. :)

Actually, I have IE5 but on my old computer I couldn't use it and I had to use netscape :( but I agree, IF they can, they should just download IE...

yep! maybe we could like provide a link to just download IE?!

Wont they have to download the font first to their computer before they can view it properly...?

umm i tried downloading some fonts and when i tried to open them they go "Not a Microsoft Chat Conversation file." and i don't know why.. because i don't want it to open up in Microsoft Chat.. grr.. stupid Microsoft chat.

I tried that Weft program but I don't really understand how it works. I tried to follow the tutorial but I'm kinda confused. Can anyone explain how to use the program?

So this means if you have a weird font that you downloaded somewhere or a font that most people don't have, u can use this so anyone can view it?

thanks ALOT, Someone1!!!
