Using Fonts on Websites


Hello!

I am struggling on how to word this question, but here it goes: I want to know if there is a way for fonts to be displayed on a web page that a user doesn't have installed on there computer.

Thanks.

If that doesn't work out, you can still use images in text, and the text will appear in your source code!

So say the text image is called img.gif and is in the same folder as your webpage with a width of 200px and a height of 100px...

index.htm
Code:
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Example</title>

    <style type="text/css">
      
      h1 {
        float: left;
        overflow: hidden;
        width: 200px;
        height: 100px;
        background: url(img.gif) no-repeat top left;
        text-indent: -1000px;
      }
      
    </style>

</head>
<body>

  <h1>This is my heading that I can edit</h1>

</body>
</html>
Make sure you specify the correct dimensions. Hope this helps

Nick

Typeface.js uses the canvas tag and is therefor not as cross-browser compatible as something like sIFR... sIFR uses flash and has been in development a lot longer than typeface.js... check it out if youre interested
