If I find a font style that is not a normal font style, how do I get that embedded into the site so that others see the site as its meant to be? Thank you for any help!

P.S. If any body would like to check out my site any feedback is greatly appreciated!

I'm pretty sure they have to have the font installed in order to see it. I know i made a site one time with a weird font and i just put a small link on the bottom saying "click here to download the font this page was made in"


..... ok nvm what i just said i didnt realize you could do this i found something here on this page.... http://members.tripod.com/~bhaavana/...ed/faq.html#10

You can embed fonts into sites using the already mentioned methods, but you should consider if you really want to.

Firstly, the vast majority of users probably won't want to download a new font to their system, or wait for a font to download, just to make your site look good. Making your site look good is your responsibility, not theirs.

What you could also do is create the text as an image - this is acceptable for titles, logos, buttons and small ammounts of text (don't forget to set the alt attribute for search engines and screen readers) but don't do it for content text cos otherwise it'll take a long time to download. People like having something to read while the images are still loading..
