How to include fonts that are not default

[ronipthomas]

Hi,

Can anybody tell me how to include fonts that are not installed by default on the system. If i want to include a local language in my webpage how can i do it?

How will i be able to save the data in another language to an sql server.?


Thanks in advance.

Do you think that it can be solved with the help of unicode??? If so how ??

Embed Fonts:

1) Use a text image in the font you want.

2) Use sIFR:
