Hey all, I know this is possible.. I have done it before.. But I forgot.. Here is the question.. how can you have a font on a website show up as that font, if the person on the computer viewing it doesnt have the font? When I did it, i used some CSS Font Converter made by Microsoft or some B.S. company, and the CSS called the new font file on the server.. how the heck did i do this!?!?!? and what program did i use?!?! please help! LOL

There are more elegant ways to do it as well. One involves flash (I'm not fond of it) and another involves a simple php script using gd lib.
If you need something other than a microsoft "solution" I'll look for the links.wait, wait.. go back a bit? PHP method?? seriously??? Ill have to be looking that up on the PHP website.. or u can help me and tell me how it works

And yes it is a Microsoft solution, but then Microsoft controls pretty much all of the market. More people use MSIE than use JavaScript, for instance. And since nobody really cares what fonts are used, WEFT will be just fine.Originally posted by Kyleva2204
