downloading fonts

[Phalon]

I'm wondering if there is a way that you could offer a download of a font, like a pop-up when a user comes to the page that downloads and installs it, or just pull the font from the server-side.

Because i want to display certain text in a special font that not all people usually have, and i don't want to use images.

Just use and ordinary link to the font file and include instructions on how to install it on various different operating systems.

Most people wont bother anyway and will just view yout content using whatever fonts that they already have.

just have to call it in the css file, and if they do not have it, then offer up a substatue. to be honest, if i have to download a font, i usally do not waste my time.

if you want a specific font, type it out using that font, and publish it as a *.gif or *.png and just use transparency with it to look like text.

I have been asking the same question. You just might have to use images.
