I use Brackets code editor and in the live preview it works perfectly but once I upload it onto the actual site it defaults to Arial. I've put the font in the css folder but I just don't understand why it doesn't work on the live site.
Here is my code.
#font-face {
font-family: BMgermar;
src: url('http://example.com/css/BMgermar.TTF') format('truetype');
}
Thanks in advance.
You Most Upload The Font In five Formats To Work Perfectly like This Code
#font-face {
font-family: 'droidkufi';
src: url('../fonts/droidkufi/droidkufi-webfont.eot');
src: url('../fonts/droidkufi/droidkufi-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../fonts/droidkufi/droidkufi-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fonts/droidkufi/droidkufi-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fonts/droidkufi/droidkufi-webfont.svg#droid_arabic_kufiregular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
And The Font Formats is:
eot
woff
ttf
svg
OR You Can Simply Import The fonts form https://www.google.com/fonts

I am working on a webfonts server and I got the api to spit out the css with the correct mime types.They are also getting linked to the page.
#font-face {
font-family: 'Pagul';
src: url('http://localhost:5000/api/webfonts/static/Pagul.eot');
src: local('☺'), url('http://localhost:5000/api/webfonts/static/Pagul.woff') format('woff'),
url('http://localhost:5000/api/webfonts/static/Pagul.ttf') format('truetype'),
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
The ttf,eot files can be downloaded manualy using the links, for some reason these fonts are
not loaded by the browser what am I doing wrong here ? The font files dont have proper mimetypes is that the issue ?
I tried font-squirells syntax also,it's not working.
PS: The Css is dynamically generated and added to the head ?
Use relative paths instead of absolutes. For example, if your CSS is in site/css/style.css and your fonts are in the site/api/webfonts/static/ directory:
#font-face {
font-family: Pagul;
src: url('../api/webfonts/static/Pagul.eot');
src: url('../api/webfonts/static/Pagul.woff') format('woff'),
url('../api/webfonts/static/Pagul.ttf') format('truetype'),
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
Alternatively, use a service like Google Fonts and either link their CSS on your HTML or import it directly into your CSS
I can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. I have an entirely static page, mostly made up of images. The font used to create the images is 'Handwriting-Dakota.ttf' found on any Mac OS X install. I have one dynamic element containing text which i want to give this font to.
I have the ttf font in the same directory as my css file.
#font-face{
font-family: dakota;
src: url('dakota.ttf') format('truetype');
}
In an html file with the css file included. <p style="font-family: dakota;">sometext</p>
I can see the rule applied in chrome's inspector but it does not change the appearance. Is what I'm trying to do impossible or am I doing it wrong?
Use this format
#font-face {
font-family: 'myfont';
src: url('fonts/myfont.eot');
src: url('fonts/myfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('fonts/myfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('fonts/myfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('fonts/myfont.svg#rsuregular') format('svg');
}
To further gain more knowledge about font-face syntax, read Bulletproof #font-face Syntax.
To get all versions of the font. google the "font converter", there will be plenty of font converter services in first page.
Make sure the url is relative to the css file and not to the webroot.
#font-face{
font-family: 'dakota';
src: url('../fonts/dakota.ttf') format('truetype');
}
And you probably should add other types to make sure other browsers can use the font without problems.
#font-face {
font-family: 'dakota';
src: url('../fonts/dakota.eot');
src: url('../fonts/dakota.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../fonts/dakota.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fonts/dakota.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fonts/dakota.svg#rsuregular') format('svg');
}
#Cobolt, you can try FontSquirrel. http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator.
All you need is .otf or .ttf file. Then, FontSquirrel will make the .svg, .eot, .woff for you and create a css file.
I rely heavily on Google Webfonts for my site and (unfortunatly) google chrome presents them badly, i have set font-smooth to always, but it dosen't seem to help.
EXAMPLES:
Is there any way i could smooth them / make them look better??
Thanks,
Font rendering problems are common in GChrome, try changing the order of your #font-face sources... Chrome utilises the .svg file in the #font-face sources, in some reason it doesn´t tolerate .svg being called last in the list
#font-face {
font-family: 'my-dirty-font';
src: url('../fonts/my-dirty-font.eot');
src: url('../fonts/my-dirty-font.eot?#iefix') format('eot'),
url('../fonts/my-dirty-font.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fonts/my-dirty-font.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fonts/my-dirty-font.svg') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
If the order #font-face order looks similar then try changing to
#font-face {
font-family: 'my-dirty-font';
src: url('../fonts/my-dirty-font.eot');
src: url('../fonts/my-dirty-font.eot?#iefix') format('eot'),
url('../fonts/my-dirty-font.svg') format('svg');
url('../fonts/my-dirty-font.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fonts/my-dirty-font.ttf') format('truetype'),
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
Personally I would use
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/
It's all hosted on your server and it's compatible with nearly every browser! Since using Font Squirrel I haven't looked elsewhere.

I'm using font-face:
#font-face {
font-family: 'SegoeUI';
src: url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeui.eot?') format('eot'),
url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeui.woff') format('woff'),
url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeui.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeui.svg#SegoeUI2') format('svg');
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'SegoeUIBold';
src: url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeuib.eot?') format('eot'),
url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeuib.woff') format('woff'),
url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeuib.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeuib.svg#SegoeUI3') format('svg');
font-style: normal;
font-weight: bold;
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'SegoeUIItalic';
src: url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeuii.eot?') format('eot'),
url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeuii.woff') format('woff'),
url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeuii.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('{site_url}themes/site_themes/agile_records/fonts/segoeuii.svg#SegoeUI4') format('svg');
font-style: italic;
font-weight: normal;
}
And there is the problem with output in Firefox, Chrome and Opera browsers. Everything looks OK on IE. Font looks sharp. Why does it happens? Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
different browsers render fonts differently.
The solution I've used in the past is to re-arrange the order in which the fonts are supplied to the font face, based on which browser is rendering the page. Usually my problems are in the earlier versions of IE so I've used a separate style sheet that offered the .woff file before the ttf file. Because some browsers can only read certain font type files but can read both and stop looking after finding one that works. If you re-arrange them you may be able to use one that renders a bit better.
If you end up using separate css you can use the $_SERVER arrays http_user_agent property to set a font css based on the browser.
googles Droid font is a font that renders funny sometimes depending on the browser as well so researching that might help you find other approaches.
It seems that there are a few tricks in ordering properly each format
See for example
This is the Fontspring bulletproof syntax modified to serve the svg
first:
#font-face {
font-family: ‘MyWebFont’;
src: url(‘webfont.eot’);
src: url(‘webfont.eot?#iefix’) format(‘embedded-opentype’),
url(‘webfont.svg#svgFontName’) format(‘svg’),
url(‘webfont.woff’) format(‘woff’),
url(‘webfont.ttf’) format(‘truetype’);
}
From http://www.fontspring.com/blog/smoother-web-font-rendering-chrome
You may also take care of using the proper mime type for WOFF font , as of http://www.w3.org/TR/WOFF/#appendix-b
application/font-woff
to ensure proper handling by the browser
I was finally able to get my site to show an Arabic font, but it is a default font that I don't want.
With the help of the SO community I found out about Dejavu fonts. I went to their website and downloaded a sans serif zipped folder. I am assuming I have to upload something to my server. If so which file/s do I upload? And what do I write in my html file to "reference" the fonts to my site? I opened all the files in the zip folder and only one of them indicated that I can download the font. But I don't need to download it on my computer. I need to upload it to the cloud so that it will be on my website.
Any ideas?
Also How can I upload the Dejavu folder here so that people can see it and know what I am talking about?
#font-face and #font-face Font Squirrel Generator
If you wish to use font embedding (and #font-face), then you need to present the font in different formats if you wish cover most platforms. See e.g. The Essential Guide to #font-face.
But there’s a much simpler way: just declare your preferred fonts (after checking that each of them covers all the characters you use) in your font-family declaration in CSS. Not all people would then see the text in DejaVu (only those who have got it along with e.g. Linux of OpenOffice or who have separately downloaded an installed it). The overhead of downloading a largish font, or several fonts, is not ignorable, especially when using e.g. slow mobile connections.
Expanding on bookcasey's point:
Check out the #font-face kits at Font Squirrel. There are several DejaVu kits available. Kits include the CSS and the DejaVu files in pretty much every available format you can use on the web. Put the font files in whatever folder you like and alter the CSS accordingly.
For example, I store my font definitions in /css/fonts.css and my fonts in /fnt/FontName/
From fonts.css
#font-face {
font-family: 'DejaVu Sans';
src: url('../fnt/DejaVuSans/DejaVuSans-webfont.eot');
src: url('../fnt/DejaVuSans/DejaVuSans-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../fnt/DejaVuSans/DejaVuSans-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fnt/DejaVuSans/DejaVuSans-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fnt/DejaVuSans/DejaVuSans-webfont.svg#DejaVuSansBook') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'DejaVu Sans';
src: url('../fnt/DejaVuSans/DejaVuSans-Oblique-webfont.eot');
src: url('../fnt/DejaVuSans/DejaVuSans-Oblique-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../fnt/DejaVuSans/DejaVuSans-Oblique-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fnt/DejaVuSans/DejaVuSans-Oblique-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fnt/DejaVuSans/DejaVuSans-Oblique-webfont.svg#DejaVuSansOblique') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: italic;
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'DejaVu Sans';
src: url('../fnt/DejaVuSans/DejaVuSans-Bold-webfont.eot');
src: url('../fnt/DejaVuSans/DejaVuSans-Bold-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../fnt/DejaVuSans/DejaVuSans-Bold-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fnt/DejaVuSans/DejaVuSans-Bold-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fnt/DejaVuSans/DejaVuSans-Bold-webfont.svg#DejaVuSansBold') format('svg');
font-weight: bold;
font-style: normal;
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'DejaVu Sans';
src: url('../fnt/DejaVuSans/DejaVuSans-BoldOblique-webfont.eot');
src: url('../fnt/DejaVuSans/DejaVuSans-BoldOblique-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../fnt/DejaVuSans/DejaVuSans-BoldOblique-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fnt/DejaVuSans/DejaVuSans-BoldOblique-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fnt/DejaVuSans/DejaVuSans-BoldOblique-webfont.svg#DejaVuSansBoldOblique') format('svg');
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
}
Using the font is then simply:
body {
font-family: 'DejaVu Sans',sans-serif;
}
