Hi,
Since a windows update a week ago or so I not have the Internet Explorer error on every one of my pages:

"This page uses fonts that need to be temporarily installed. This is usually safe. Do you want to allow these fonts to be downloaded"

I use embedded fonts, eg:

@font-face {
font-family: DCWri;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
src: url(DCWRI1.eot);

Any ideas on how to use embeded fonts now? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can only use the following fonts:

Arial
Comic Sans
Courier, Courier New
Helvetica
Georgia
Impact
Lucida Sans Unicode
Tahoma
Times New Roman
Trebuchet MS
Verdana

If you want to use other fonts, it is required that the visitor has that font on that machine. That is why we stick to the ones listed above. If you don't want to use them, then you will need to make all your text as images.

Hey Twitch, not everyone's using windows, so not everyone has those fonts installed. I don't have any of them, I've got similar ones, but not those.

For GingerAle, I've got no Idea for how to fix this in IE, but you could try to use Netscape's embedded font system.

Well, then use the standards.

sans-serif
serif
system
cursive

etc.

You could also provide the font on a splash page displayed before your main index. It isn't the best thing to do, but if you really want to do this, you can.

You may need to get permission from the owner of the font before you put it up for download on your site, though

The best thing is to probably just stick with the main fonts.
