I am trying to add this font : http://www.fonts2u.com/vps-dong-da-hoa.font
to my website. Here is my CSS :
#font-face {
font-family: "VPSDODAH";
src: url(http://localhost/blablabla/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/frisco-for-buddypress/VPSDODAH.ttf) format("truetype");}
#header h1 a {
font-family: "VPSDODAH";}
The URL to the font is correct but it's not working, what can it be ?
Thank you very much.
Not all browser support .ttf. Use a font generator to get all the font types ( I use font2web ) and then just add the fonts via #font-face:
#font-face {
font-family: 'fontName';
src: url('../fonts/fontName.eot');
src: url('../fonts/fontName.eot?iefix') format('eot'),
url('../fonts/fontName.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fonts/fontName.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fonts/fontName.svg#fontName') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
Read here about browser font support.
You can try this website for your web font generation. If your font exists, you can convert it and get all the #font-face parameters to apply it for your website.

I have searched for its solution, and I think, I'm doing everything like the suggestions, but it is still not working. Custom font works on Chrome, IE, but not in Firefox. I have used font face generator to generate fonts and the code. I have placed the #font-face code in header, custom.css file (in theme_root/css/) and also in style.css, but it is not working.
Placed this in header.php:
<style>
#font-face {
font-family: 'Bebas Neue';
src: url('fonts/bebasneue.eot');
src: url('fonts/bebasneue.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('fonts/bebasneue.svg#Bebas Neue') format('svg'),
url('fonts/bebasneue.woff') format('woff'),
url('fonts/bebasneue.ttf') format('truetype');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
</style>
Placed this in style.css:
#font-face {
font-family: 'Bebas Neue';
src: url('fonts/bebasneue.eot');
src: url('fonts/bebasneue.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('fonts/bebasneue.svg#Bebas Neue') format('svg'),
url('fonts/bebasneue.woff') format('woff'),
url('fonts/bebasneue.ttf') format('truetype');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
Placed this in custom.css:
#font-face {
font-family: 'Bebas Neue';
src: url('../fonts/bebasneue.eot');
src: url('../fonts/bebasneue.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../fonts/bebasneue.svg#Bebas Neue') format('svg'),
url('../fonts/bebasneue.woff') format('woff'),
url('../fonts/bebasneue.ttf') format('truetype');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
Working everywhere, except Firefox. I'm confused
http://tour.khujbo.com
Also, this font works in html pages in Firefox fine. I have used this font in this template and it works on Firefox: http://khujbo.com. Seems to me, that the problem with Firefox and WordPress combination.
What should I do?
I don't think you need to define this font-face everywhere. You can place the CSS only in custom.css. And, you have defined the "Bebas Neue" font-face in your header.php with wrong URL. CSS is trying to get the font (woff, ttf, etc) from http://tour.khujbo.com/fonts/. Please correct your CSS with the right location.
BTW, my suggestion would be, you just place and load the CSS only from custom.css and remove all other definitions.
Hope this will solve your problem.
you must always be sure that the font is legal to use on your site.
However Firefox and Chrome should both support TTF.
get more info from here.
be sure u converted font to all format try this site to do http://everythingfonts.com/font-face and the path should be right !
#font-face {
font-family: 'GE SS Unique';
src: url('../../fonts/GE_SS_Unique_Light.eot');
src: url('../../fonts/GE_SS_Unique_Light.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../../fonts/GE_SS_Unique_Light.woff') format('woff'),
url('../../fonts/GE_SS_Unique_Light.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../../fonts/GE_SS_Unique_Light.svg#GE_SS_Unique_Light') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;}
h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6{
font-family: 'GE SS Unique';
}
My web designer told me to use prime regular font in my web site.
I didn't find it.
Any body know how to use the font prime.
body
{
font-family: ...
}
final result:
<style type="text/css">
#font-face {
font-family: 'primelight';
src: url('prime_light-webfont.eot');
src: url('prime_light-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('prime_light-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('prime_light-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('prime_light-webfont.svg#primelight') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
body {
font-family: "primelight", Verdana, Tahoma;
}
</style>
go to http://fontfabric.com/prime-free-font/
and download the font
creat a repository in your website : fonts/prime/
put the prime files inside make sure you ve something like this :PrimeLight.otf
alternative :
download the font
convert it with all options # http://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator
I have the following font setup in the CSS for a wordpress based site I'm building and the fonts display fine in FF, but not at all in IE(9) or Chrome(latest).
/* =Typography
-------------------------------------------------------------- */
#font-face {
font-family: 'Humanist';
src: url('fonts/humanist521lightbt-webfont.eot');
src: url('fonts/humanist521lightbt-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('fonts/humanist521lightbt-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('fonts/Humanist521LightBT.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('fonts/humanist521lightbt-webfont.svg#webfontregular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'HumanistIT';
src: url('fonts/humanist521lightitalicbt-webfont.eot');
src: url('fonts/humanist521lightitalicbt-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('fonts/humanist521lightitalicbt-webfont.woff') format('woff'),

url('fonts/humanist521lightitalicbt-webfont.svg#webfontregular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'HumanistBo';
src: url('fonts/humanist777blackbt-webfont.eot');
src: url('fonts/humanist777blackbt-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('fonts/humanist777blackbt-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('fonts/Humanist777BlackBT.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('fonts/humanist777blackbt-webfont.svg#webfontregular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
When I need to use the font for an element, I just add font-family: 'Humanist', Arial, sans-serif;
The fonts are stored in the theme's directory in folder called "fonts".
Am I doing something wrong or missing something for it to work with other browsers?
Thanks
Internet Explorer 9 and less has some issues displaying .TTF files. It does not support embedded fonts via the CSS3 scheme without first converting into supported formats (.svg, .ttf, .eot, etc.). However, you can tweak your #Font-Face Syntax to support this.
With Chrome not displaying the correct font, this is due to different browsers having different needs. You can find more information in the second link in the more information below.
A side note as well: if your font is hosted on Google Fonts, embed a link into your website instead of hosting it yourself.
TLDR; need a comprehensive list of #font-face types
More information:
SO Question - IE problems with True Type Font files
SO Question - Font-Face problem in Chrome
Further Hardening of the Bulletproof Syntax - Fontspring.
Bulletproof #font-face syntax - Paul Irish
To use the font for an HTML element, then we need to use the #font-face rule of power full features of CSS3 that supported in many modern browser. CSS property font-family of HTML is used to defined the font name which we want to embed ans src property used to defined the path of the font to be embed.
#font-face
{
font-family: myfont;
src: url('(fontfile.eot') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('(fontfile.woff') format('woff'),
url('(fontfile.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('(fontfile.svg#(fontfile') format('svg');
}
div,h2
{
font-family:myfont;
}
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.
I really need help with #font-face code.
IT doesn't seem to see my font file.
I tried changing the path to anything I could think of, made new folders, renamed existing ones, put the font file in my root etc.
I'm testing in Firefox and Chrome.
Here are the codes that I tried in my CSS:
src: url(http://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(http://www.thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(www.thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(../wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(/thefalltheme/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(../thefalltheme/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(thefalltheme/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(/images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(../images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(images/Univers.ttf);
src: url(www.thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/Univers.ttf);
src: url(/Univers.ttf);
src: url(Univers.ttf);
src: url(../Univers.ttf);
Can you find out where I should put the font file or what to change in my CSS to get it to work?
(I also checked the similar questions here and elsewhere on the net and tried using this website to no avail.)
Thanks!
UPDATE:
bozdoz's suggestion doesn't work.
I used FontSquirrel to get the fonts.
This is the CSS:
#font-face {
font-family: 'lane';
src: url('http://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/univers-webfont.eot');
src: url('thttp://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/univers-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('http://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/univers-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('http://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/univers-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('http://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/univers-webfont.svg#LaneHumouresqueRegular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
h1{ font-size: 110px;
font-family: 'lane', georgia, serif;
color: #000000;
}
I used the name 'lane' just because bozdoz had it.
All of the fonts are here:
http://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/
and these are their names:
univers-webfont.eot, univers-webfont.woof, univers-webfont.ttf, univers-webfont.svg
Are you using it correctly? Here is the format for #font-face. Notice the number of files. You can use Font Squirrel to create all of the necessary fonts for cross-browser compatibility. Also, it looks like you're using WordPress. I believe you have to use absolute paths (i.e. the first one in your list) in CSS on WordPress. Hope this helps.
<style>
#font-face {
font-family: 'lane';
src: url('type/lanehum-webfont.eot');
src: url('type/lanehum-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('type/lanehum-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('type/lanehum-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('type/lanehum-webfont.svg#LaneHumouresqueRegular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
.font { font-family:"lane", arial, serif; }
</style>
You want to do something like this:
#font-face { font-family: Delicious; src: url('Delicious-Roman.otf'); }
The font definition file must be relative to your css file. So if your css is at:
/Content/css/main.css
Then your font must be located in the same folder. If you specify
#font-face { font-family: Delicious; src: url('fonts/Delicious-Roman.otf'); }
Then your font definition would be at
/Content/css/fonts/Delicious-Roman.otf
You might want to verify that your server is not blocking your fonts from being downloaded. Try the URL and see if you get a 404 or 403 at the given url.
You should try fontSuirrel's generator, their scripts have been vastly tested and compliant with many browsers. Choose advanced settings when generating your fonts. Certain browsers may not have the ability to use ttf as a font so they provide you with eot woff and ttf
My suggestions from the comments as an answer:
Try with quotes:
url("Univers.ttf");
Check you have font-family or otherwise you cannot use your font in your code:
font-family: "MyFontName";
Your custom font family you would use in css like:
p { font-family: "MyFontName", Arial, sans-serif; }
First of all, thank you all for your great, great help!
There was no problem with the #font-face code.
The problem was with my overall CSS.
You see, my CSS was written like this:
/*
Info
*/
#media screen {
* {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
html { background: black url(images/bg.jpg); }
body { font: 14px/1.4 Georgia, serif; }
article, aside, figure, footer, header, nav, section { display: block; }
#font-face {
font-family: 'lane';
src: url('http://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/univers-webfont.eot');
src: url('thttp://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/univers-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('http://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/univers-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('http://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/univers-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('http://thefalljourneyindia.iblogger.org/wp-content/themes/thefalltheme/images/univers-webfont.svg#LaneHumouresqueRegular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
etc.
The problem was that #font-face wasn't seen because it was after #media screen!
After I put it in front of #media screen and after /* Info */ it worked flawlessly.
Also, seems like I can use absolute and relative paths when using Wordpress...
Once again, thank you all for all your help!
