Not true. Fonts can be referenced from the pages which do not reside on the client machine, but on the server. However, using nonstandard fonts in page text is generally a really bad idea.figaro11 wrote:The fonts in your HTML pages are limited to the number of fonts on the clients machine. In other words, if the person browsing you HTML page has the font on their computer, then that font will be displayed.

There is a CSS standard for this issue:
The problem is that it is not supported by many browsers.
Code: Select all
@font-face {
font-family: cmsy10;
src: url("http://www.domain.com/font/cmsy10.ttf");
}
p {
font-family: cmsy10;
}
There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't
IE has been supporting the rule every since IE4 but with their .eot format, instead of the popular TrueType formats.VladSun wrote:There is a CSS standard for this issue:

Up until recently, Safari supports the rule. Opera hopefully will kick in with support.
