I've been around on the net since 1995, and have seen at least 3 ways to embed fonts on webpages: The microsoft way, the netscape way and now a cross platform way - SIFR.
As I try to put my threads short, I will just write a way to implement SIFR custom fonts on your website
- Locate a TTF font you whish to use on your webpage
- Goto the page which offers to convert the font to a "flash swf font" (used by SIFT):
http://www.sifrgenerator.com/wizard.html - Follow the wizard guide and choose version 2 in the end.
- Download the SWF file to a path near your website, say in a folder named "fonts"
Now the font is ready, all you need to do now is to try another free service appearing as a plugin for JQUERY - the sIFR plugin!
- Goto the website http://jquery.thewikies.com/sifr/
- Download the "Jquery sIFR plugin version 2" All in one.zip file
- unpack it and follow the guide
To be able to use the font you generated yourself - copy'n'paste the font into the "fonts" directory in the unpacked "all-in-one" zip file.
That's it! :-)
