DarkElf 0 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I'm writing a webpage for my band which uses a font-family called flexure in its logo. I want to encorporate the font in the page but this only works for users who already have the font on their computer, which isn't many as it is not a common font. For users who don't already have the font the browser just defaults (normally to arial).Is it possible to put the font file on the server and then reference it? or is there some other way around this problem?I know I could use images for the elements in question, however I've encountered other problems with this approach, see http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=1899 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smiles 7 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I think that you can create your logo with your own font and convert to image file . put on your web Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkElf 0 Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I already tried that, the problem was that because the banner needs to span the entire page it resizes to fit the browser window. This had some undesirable effects on the quality of the textual part of the image.The other thread I linked to earlier refers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Err 10 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 If you rule images out of the question then you can't, just switch the font to one that most people have (e.g. Lucida Console). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
