on my site i use a font called "rainbow6" but i guess not much pple got this font in their windows/fonts dir...<br />
so probably it turns out bad when u surf on it now :/<br />
How can i resolve this prob? or how can i ask if the person surfin on my site wants to install the font before entering the site? (just a link to dld the fontfile would be easy but i guess nobody is gonna dld that then :/)<br />
i cant make any scripts.../me is an html noob and yah<br />
cant use flash neither :[<br />
is there really no way that anybody who enters the site just gets the font in their temp folder and so it works?<br />
<br />

I would go with the first option and then use css to put use another font for your regular text like helvetica or verdana or even Trebuchet MT or Lucida.<br />
<br />
This is what I have in my css for font:<br />
font-family: 'lucida sans unicode', helvetica, verdana, arial, sans-serif;<br />
<br />
or sometimes this<br />
<br />
font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Lucida, Geneva, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;<br />
<br />
HTH<!--content-->Just using normal HTML, there isn't any other way than to ask the visitor to Download <!--more--> the font. (and of course have a link where to Download <!--more--> it from). That's why using fonts other than the basic fonts (Times New Roman, Arial, Verdana, Courier New etc.) isn't really recommended.<!--content-->myah okie<br />
just put up a link on the index html<br />
thx for letting me know there wasnt any other way anyway
<br />
<br />
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:<!--content-->why can't you use the CSS code? its perfectly reasonable. just use the font-family thing and it should work on everyone's computer.<!--content-->I would rather put the Download <!--more--> link. I mean, what if the person who is making the site does not know HTML? Wouldn't know how to even use font family. Anyways...<!--content-->nah the way i did it like now is good enough....<br />
after all this site would only be visited by other Rainbow6/Rogue Spear/Raven Shield players and if they r fans they'll probably like to have that font in their windows dir anyway

You could offer a font file to Download <!--more--> (subjext to copyright/distribution clauses from the original maker) but do be aware that not all visitors may be using a windows PC; some may be using linux or mac.<!--content-->
