I have downloaded .ttf files from google fonts to my local css folder, but can't seem to load them properly. I have tried these approaches:
CSS
#import url('./css/css?family=Cabin+Condensed:400,500,600,700');
#font-face {
font-family: 'Cabin Condensed';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 700;
src: local('Cabin Condensed') format('truetype');
}
body, html {
font-family: 'Cabin Condensed', sans-serif;
}
HTML
<link href="./css/css?family=Cabin+Condensed:400,500,600" rel="stylesheet">
I don't get any errors, but the font is not displayed either.
Strangely, the official docs don't even mention local fonts.
Seems to me the problem is using the local path which requires the font to be installed locally.
Try dropping the #import and add a fallback of src: url to your src: local:
#font-face {
font-family: 'Cabin Condensed';
src: local('Cabin Condensed'), url(<path to the TTF file>);
}
e.g:
#font-face {
font-family: 'Cabin Condensed';
src: local('Cabin Condensed'), url('/css/fonts/Cabin-Condensed.ttf');
}

I am using #font-face like this:
#font-face {
font-family: DINPro;
font-weight: bold;
src: url(../res/fonts/DINPro-Bold.otf) format("opentype");
}
#font-face {
font-family: DINPro;
src: url(../res/fonts/DINPro-Regular.otf) format("opentype");
}
#font-face {
font-family: DFLiHei;
src: url(../res/fonts/DFLiHei-Regular.ttf) format('truetype');
}
h1{
font-family: DFLiHei !important;
}
But not working.
My folder structure is likely:
/index.html
/css/style.css
/res/fonts/DINPro-Bold.otf
/res/fonts/DINPro-Regular.otf
/res/fonts/DFLiHei-Regular.ttf
Therefore, I think wrong directory is not my problem.
Also, not only fail in special browser, but also in chrome and mobile.
Any idea?
Convert ttf to woff format
Try this
#font-face {
font-family: DFLiHei;
src: url(../res/fonts/DFLiHei-Regular.woff) format('woff');
}
It will work in all browsers
I would like to know If we can upload any font on our website ??
Where can I download a font or google font and upload it on my css file directly like that :
#font-face { font-family: 'Myriad Pro Regular';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 300;
src: local('Myriad Pro Regular'), url('MYRIADPRO-REGULAR.woff') format('woff'); }
instead of use this sort of code :
#import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Source+Sans Pro:200italic,200,300italic,300,400italic,400,600italic,600,700italic,700,900italic,900);
thank you
See don’t use #import.
Prefere LINK tag :
<link rel='stylesheet' href='a.css'>
Download Source Sans Pro webfont and make CSS file with these rules :
#font-face {
font-family: SourceSansPro;
src: url('source-sans-pro/SourceSansPro-Regular.otf');
}
#font-face {
font-family: SourceSansPro;
src: url('source-sans-pro/SourceSansPro-Bold.otf');
font-weight: bold;
}
#font-face {
font-family: SourceSansPro;
src: url('source-sans-pro/SourceSansPro-Italic.otf');
font-style: italic;
}

font-family: SourceSansPro;
src: url('source-sans-pro/SourceSansPro-BoldItalic.otf');
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
}
#font-face {
font-family: SourceSansPro;
src: url('source-sans-pro/SourceSansPro-Light.otf');
font-weight: 300;
}
#font-face {
font-family: SourceSansPro;
src: url('source-sans-pro/SourceSansPro-LightItalic.otf');
font-style: italic;
font-weight: 300;
}
Using a Custom Web Font
I found this youtube video online. It gives the instructions step by step.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPwG67lEFdc
I listed the steps here go to http://www.google.com/fonts/
find a font that you like, click the quick use link. Scroll down again and copy the link that looks like the following.
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
Next integrate the fonts into your CSS. The Google Fonts API will generate the necessary browser-specific CSS to use the fonts. All you need to do is add the font name to your CSS styles. For example:
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
True, like #Jukka said, some fonts aren't free, so you'll have to search. Luck is that:
Raleway - http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/raleway
and Open Sans - http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/open-sans
are free, so you just have to download the TTF (big blue button), inside the zip there's the whole set of weights and styles of the font.
Then you have two options:
Upload the .ttf directly to your ftp and call it into your css, as you stated; or
Use the Webfont Generator (http://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator) to create another types (.woof, .eot, .svg), because of browsers.
FYI, Chrome in the last few versions (< 39) had a problem with some fonts, and just the .svg extension corrected the bug.
Is it possible to define a custom name for Google fonts?
Eg. <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
How to use 'Open Sans' with custom name?
div {
font-family: 'custom'; // to be same as 'Open Sans'
}
Using #font-face as answered here is not possible, since I don't have url to source files (ttf, eot, woff, ...).
Links to source files on Google cdn would solve this issue.
This code will work in your case:
<style type="text/css">
#font-face {
font-family: 'MyCustomOpenSans';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src:
local('Open Sans'),
local('OpenSans'),
url(http://fonts.gstatic.com/s/opensans/v10/cJZKeOuBrn4kERxqtaUH3VtXRa8TVwTICgirnJhmVJw.woff2) format('woff2'),
url(http://fonts.gstatic.com/s/opensans/v10/cJZKeOuBrn4kERxqtaUH3T8E0i7KZn-EPnyo3HZu7kw.woff) format('woff');
}
p {font-family: "MyCustomOpenSans", sans-serif;}
</style>
I'm not sure if it's a stable enough because the URL will change if there's a new update to the font and I'm not sure if Google will ban access to the other URL.
EDIT:
The WOFF format is supported by IE9+, Firefox, Chrome etc.
Source: http://caniuse.com/#feat=woff
The WOFF2 format is less supported:
http://caniuse.com/#search=woff2
You could download the font and supply your own name for it using #font-face {}
Convert the font using a font converter.
Then change the font name like this...
#font-face {
font-family: 'super-wicked-font-yeahhh'; /* CHANGE HERE */
src: url('fontawesome/fontawesome-webfont.eot');
src: url('fontawesome/fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('fontawesome/fontawesome-webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'),
url('fontawesome/fontawesome-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('fontawesome/fontawesome-webfont.ttf') format('truetype');
}
Then call the font using:
p {
font-family: super-wicked-font-yeahhh;
}
I'm trying to use a font I installed called "Bebas Neue" from dafont.com on my web page. I am running Ubuntu and I opened the font in font viewer and it successfully installed. Now I have tried referencing the font like so in my CSS:
font-family: 'Bebas Neue', sans-serif;
However this is displaying the default font still. Am I referencing it correctly or do I need to do more to use this font?
Use the #font-face method. http://fontsquirrel.com has a lot of free and free-for-commercial use resources on this. You can upload a font into their generator and it will give you a neat kit with cross-browser font files and instructions.
Here's an example:
#font-face {
font-family: 'OpenSansLight';
src: url('fonts/fonts/OpenSans-Light-webfont.eot');
src: url('fonts/OpenSans-Light-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('fonts/OpenSans-Light-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('fonts/OpenSans-Light-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('fonts/OpenSans-Light-webfont.svg#OpenSansLight') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
And then reference this on whatever element you want to apply this to
<style type="text/css">
div {
font-family: OpenSansLight;
}
</style>
<div>
This is OpenSansLight!
</div>
try
#font-face
{
font-family: myFirstFont;
src: url('Bebas Neue.ttf'),
url('Bebas Neue.eot'); /* IE9 */
}
where src is path to the font.
put font into your project folder.
and use that as below,
div
{
font-family: myFirstFont;
}
I don't understand how to get this to work, any help would be appreciated;
I'm going off of what I got from this website: http://alistapart.com/article/cssatten
from my style.css
#font-face {
font-family: "JSL";
src: url(http://ff.static.1001fonts.net/j/s/jsl-ancient.normal.ttf) format("truetype");
}
font {
color: #000000;
font-size: 120%;
font-family: "JSL";
}
Neither is the plus sign the issue (tested with my renamed fonts), nor do you have to import a separate css file at the top of your main css file.
However, you may need to have more versions of your font than just the true type. Have a look at Bulletproof #font-face Syntax.
You may use FontSquirrel’s generator to achieve this.
Here is an example of a #font-face embed in my application, which is pinned right at the top of my main css stylesheet.
#font-face {
font-family: 'JustVector';
src: url('../fonts/justvectorv2+webfont.eot');
src: url('../fonts/justvectorv2+webfont.eot?') format('eot'),
url('../fonts/justvectorv2+webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fonts/justvectorv2+webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fonts/justvectorv2+webfont.svg#webfontkw9J4lGf') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
no
#font-face
Try get inport it:
#import_your_new_cssfile.css
whre you put:
font-face {
font-family: "JSL";
src: url(http://www.fontyukle.net/en/DownLoad-JSL+Ancient.ttf) format("truetype");
}
font {
color: #000000;
font-size: 120%;
font-family: "JSL";
}
Is perhaps the "+" sign in the font URL a problem? You might want to URL encode it.
Edit - after hitting the font URL, it looks like you should try to download the ttf file, and refer to it locally, rather than from a remote source. It's prompting me for a Captcha in order to download the file, which is probably why it's not working.
You do need to download the file and refer to it locally,
The link supported there is a download link and requires a Captcha to be downloaded which means it is NOT a direct link to the TTF File.
Depending on the Font you may need to use:
#font-face {
font-family: 'someFont';
src: url('path/to/font/someFont.eot');
src: url('path/to/font/someFont.eot?#iefix'), format('embedded-opentype'),
url('path/to/font/someFont.woff'), format('woff'),
url('path/to/font/someFont.ttf'), format('truetype'),
url('path/to/font/someFont.svg'), format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
and in CSS:
BODY
{
font-family: 'someFont', Fallback, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
...
}
This worked for me when I had issues wityh embedding a custom font.
