Embedding fonts

Post by daedalus__ »

You can embed fonts into a page for use by the clients browser right?

I wanted to make my resume look like it is done on parchment but in order to do this, I need to use a custom font. It's not going to do any good if nobody has the font so I thought that maybe it is possible to have the browser download the font on page load.

I'm almost sure I have done it once before?

Last time I checked this was only possible if the client is using IE.

No other browsers support this?

Is there any language that could help me do this?

Try sIFR. Should only really be used for headers really though. May take the page a long time to load if used for all text but worth a play.
