fonts support

Post by wpatters1229 »

I want to use a particular font square721 BT that is on some users PCs but not others. Is there a way to place the font file in the menu style code and reference it? I know fonts are loaded into a microsoft system on re-boot but not being that familiar with the code for fonts I wasn't sure if including the font file in the code on the server would work...any ideas on this? This particular site has a Windows server but the ability to see a font on a web page is all done on the client side...correct?

Hi,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to install fonts on another PC through a web browser.

This is seen as a security issue and is simply not possible.

Regards,
Andy

After thinking about it I came to the same conclusion. The only font that is close that the world has on their browsers is Arial...square721 BT is nice and some people have it but it looks like I will have to go with creating graphics for each menu item or convincing the client to not use the font.
