How do you use custom fonts on web pages?

Is there a way to make the %26quot;font-family%26quot; property of CSS link to a font package hosted on your domain, rather than to a default font on the visitor%26#039;s computer?

Microsoft has a system (WEFT) that enables you to serve fonts to the users browsers. As far as I know, though, it only works for Internet Explorer. Users of Firefox, Opera, or Safari will see a default font instead.

nope! you can always convert to images =P



Other Replys:Not a good idea at all. If a visitor to your site doesn%26#039;t have the particular font you are using then they can%26#039;t see it. Everyday more and more people are switching to non-IE browsers and doing such a thing (using that custom font) would be a big waste of time. As far as a hosted custom font, it is possible for visitors to tweak the layout of your site to the font that they want. I%26#039;ve been to sites were this is possible. It%26#039;s some kind of script.
