Adding fonts to your HTML

[JayDie]

Hello all!!

Is it possible to add fonts to your HTML?

For example, if I use a very special font, not a standard one as arial or courier. How to make it possible that the cliënt sees the text in that specific font? How to add it to your page? Do you have to place the font on the server and refer to it or...?

I know that, if you use the font as a banner or something, it's maybe better to make an image of it, but what if I use the font all over my site...?

@font-face (http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/css/syntax/atrules/fontface.htm), support maybe poor.

Thank a lot!!!

But got some questions now...
- src: url(http://www.example.com/font.eot);
- "...This At-Rule syntax maps an embedded OpenType file..."

What is an 'embedded open type' font? Normally, fonts extention is .ttf. Can I use them also? Has somebody some experience with it?

This on truedoc (http://www.truedoc.com/webpages/intro/index.html) maybe of help with Mozilla.
