[Katt2]

I have a website that i made for myself that i show off my stuff
I made the page and used Verticalization font. if i have uploaded the font to my server or v deck when someone else views the page will the font show as if they had the font in there windows font folder . or does the person have to have that font on there computer to see what i see. hope this isnt confusing you . thanks kat

Generally speaking, if a font is used on a web page which is not on the visitor's computer, an available default font is selected.

You can specify more than one font by using the font family property:

.... {font-family: "font1","font2"} where font1 is your preferred font and font2 is a more common alternative. You can also use certain generic font names like sans-serif to control the appearance of your page.

It is possible to embedded a font on a page to support visitors who do not have it installed on their computer:

.... @font-face {font-family: "font1"; src: url (font1.eot) where url points to the location of the font. Not just any font can be used. Internet Explorer requires fonts to be in the .eot format prepared with a program named WEFT. This seems like what you are trying to accomplish. With a properly prepared font, a visitor does not need the font installed on his computer using this technique.

All my design classes have stated to use common fonts otherwise the browser will default to a common windows font. IE, just because your website looks great on your computer in lets say Internet Explorer, doesn't mean it will look the same in Firefox or Opera.

Many developers including myself will code a website to multiple browsers, users, and screen types. Check http://www.faithcountryside.org/test to understand what I'm talking about. Just as Terry said, the web will not port fonts over to other computers, the browser is only ment as an interpreter (sp?) of code for a website, and nothing more.

Edit: Many developers who do want to have a certain look of a font will actually make the font into a gif image and display it that way.

Terry,

As Johnny Carson used to say, "I didn't know that!" Nice!

Very true Phelyx as i have done this for the top gif. i should see if i can implement the button keys witht the font but i think it will distort the webpage but i might try that . thanks again. Katt2
