using font in folder on server

[CrazyMerlin]

If I want to use a certain font (true-type) on a page and not have an alternative, can I include the font in a folder on the server and reference it on the page somehow?

i.e:

<style>
body { font: 10px url(../fonts/bangle.ttf); }
</style>

or something similar?

thanks

As far as I know, you cannot. You can prompt them to DL the font, but you can't reference a font that's not on the user's pc.

Damn. Nevermind.

JPnyc is right, the visitor has to have it on their computer...

Although there is an alternative, http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2004/08/sifr

Check it out i used it on a few sites, the end result is, you can use any font you want and not worry whether your client has it on their system.
