Fonts???

[pajodublin]

Hi
i just designed my own website and have used a weird font that no-one else seems to have, ive looked at my website now with another computer and the font doesnt show. Is there any way of making everyone see the font whether they have it installed or not, or some other way??

thanks

Pajo

Most people said that you cannot force another computer to download a font (it would take too long for the page to load anyway; it would freeze while the font was being loaded) until Rachael said:-
This a little unknown but oh so useful programme called weft.

You can use your own fonts on your website if you upload them to your server, but they have to be .eot format.

That's a good job that's what this program does then! It also codes it for you...

Most people stick to using special fonts in images, just in special places like headers, logos and signatures.
