How to add some non standard font to website?

I am working on new project. In this web site the client used a font (Volta Regular). Please tell me how I can use it. This font is missing on my computer. How can I use it? This problem would come with all machine. How could I adjust it through CSS?

Answer 1

You'll need to use downloadable fonts which are described in this AListApart article (scroll down to the part titled "Web Fonts: the code you'll use"). But be careful. Browser support is still spotty so you'll want to provide a web safe default font for backwards compatibility.

Answer 2

You have a few options, check out @font-face, a CSS based solution and cufon, a JavaScript solution.

Answer 3

First download the specific font in net and past into your project folder.

For css, use this link:

Answer 4

Check out fontsquirrel.com

They have some pre-made @font-face kits and also a generator that will let you supply your own font (just make sure it is licensed for use on the web).

Answer 5

If it's the font I'm thinking of: I'm no lawyer & this isn't Copyright Overflow, but the font isn't free and the license seems pretty clear that @font-face embedding is not okay.

In that case, either 1) buy the font and make images with it (if it's just for a logo / heading); or 2) tell the client that the font isn't suitable for web use and ask them to pick something more common (or at least legally embeddable) instead.
