As title already says: font-face does not work with my Chinese fonts.
I have downloaded some Chinese fonts, but for some reason these are not recognized by my css.
This is the css I use:
#font-face
{
font-family: 'chinese';
src: url('chinese.ttf') format('truetype');
}
html {
height:100%;
font-family:"chinese";
}
Now, if I change the url to a 'normal' font, it works; also for downloaded fonts (I tested it with Din). Unfortunately the 'normal' fonts do not support Chinese, so the characters will stay unaffected.
Both fonts are located in the same folder as the css file, so the url is not the problem. Also all character sets are correct (or else I couldn't see the default Chinese at all).
Is there maybe some extra thing I have to do for Chinese? Or what is it?
When declaring a Chinese font family, it’s typically a good idea to type out the romanization of the font (for example, “SimHei”) and declare the Chinese characters as a separate font in the same declaration. What this does is help reference the font file regardless of weather it’s been stored in the local system under its Chinese or western name – you’re covering all your bases here.
Example :
font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, "Microsoft Yahei","微软雅黑", STXihei, "华文细黑", sans-serif;
For Your Reference : Good Rules for Using Chinese fonts in CSS
I think this may help you to resolve your problem.
refer this post,
I think you need the same answer :)

convert fonts to "woff"
that will solve your purpose..
Sample :
#font-face {
font-family: 'Droid Serif';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 700;
src: local('Droid Serif Bold'), local('DroidSerif-Bold'), url(http://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/droidserif/v3/QQt14e8dY39u-eYBZmppwTqR_3kx9_hJXbbyU8S6IN0.woff) format('woff');
}
you need to modify font name and url :)
As far as I know, there's a service based in Taiwan can help you use different Chinese font.
http://en.justfont.com/fonts
Due to the large size of Chinese font file, it's recommended to use Google cloud service. But there's no appropriate Chinese font on it. So you can give it a try on this justfont web font service.
Select any font you want for specific font weight. Then it'll be added to your project.
Choose your selector like .notosans, #notosans or h2
Click "JS" button and get your code for your setting
Add it befor <body>
Insert your class or id.
Give it a try and get your beautiful Chinese font. :)

After poking around many stylesheets for different websites, I have consistently noticed font or font-family values that are used which do not appear to use correct font-family names. I am wondering if I just don't fully understand how to reference font family names as used by CSS.
For example, on this stylesheet, the authors use the following several times:
font-family:"minion-pro";
however, as far as Google tells me, no such font family actually exists. For example, if you Google the following:
font minion-pro
none of the first several hits show anything "minion-pro", but rather all the hits are for "Minion" or "Minion Pro"; the fifth hit is for this link, which as far as I understand CSS, requires the user to reference this font as
font-family: "Minion Pro";
I have also seen this on some stylesheets for the font "Myriad Pro" which, when you Google font myriad-pro, only return hits for the font "Myriad" and "Myriad Pro". That is, in CSS stylesheets, I have seen this
font-family: "Myriad-Pro";
but to me, this is not correct, and should be
font-family: "Myriad Pro";
So my simple question is: are fonts which contain spaces able to be rendered properly if the spaces are replaced with hyphens?
I believe the answer to this is "no" based on the docs - I cannot easily test this because I do not have easy access to these fonts and I am at work right now. (when I try Codepenning this with "Myriad Pro" or "Minion Pro" nothing happens - fonts not recognized)
It depends on what you name the font-family when you create the #font-face font definition to serve your font.
Like this:
#font-face {
font-family: 'montserratregular';
src: url('/content/fonts/Montserrat/montserrat-regular.eot');
src: url('/content/fonts/Montserrat/montserrat-regular.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('/content/fonts/Montserrat/montserrat-regular.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('/content/fonts/Montserrat/montserrat-regular.woff') format('woff'),
url('/content/fonts/Montserrat/montserrat-regular.ttf') format('truetype');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
In this case I would reference font-family: 'montserratregular'; in my css. But if in the #font-face declaration I defined font-family: 'montserrat-regular'; or font-family: 'montserrat regular'; then I would use that in my css.
In the stylesheet you linked the author probably has his #font-face declarations in a separate css file where he defines Minion Pro as "minion-pro", this is common.
Other fonts that you don't serve to the client, System Fonts, should be referenced by their system font name. You can use a site like CSS Font Stack to see what those names are and the likelihood (in %) that they are a system font on Windows or Mac. It also provides common fallbacks for fonts (i.e. you could do this: font-family: 'Myriad Pro', 'Myriad-Pro', 'MyriadPro', Arial;).
A font like Myriad Pro or Minion Pro don't usually ship as an installed system font by default, so thats why we serve the font to the client using the #font-face approach. I user could install Myraid Pro on their machine and then it would be a system font, but you would have to know the exact name and you can't guarantee a user has a unique font or require users who visit your site to manually install it.
As we know when register any google font url in your website and then can use it during font-family css property, after each google font name we see the Generic font families name like sans-serif, serif, cursive and monospace like these exapmles below
font-family: 'Tulpen One', cursive;
font-family: 'Ubuntu', sans-serif;
font-family: 'Trykker', serif;
font-family: 'Ubuntu Mono', monospace;
Is google fonts work with font-family property without using Generic font families name? and only using google font name? like this examples below
font-family: 'Tulpen One';
font-family: 'Ubuntu';
font-family: 'Trykker';
font-family: 'Ubuntu Mono';
This question highlights a misunderstanding of CSS - the font-face rules you get from google tell the CSS engine which bytecode to use as font-resource for specific font families (and at which style/weight). That's all it does, and can do. Whether you use external fonts from Typekit or Google or github.io or even your own locally hosted ones.
In contrast to this, your page CSS is responsible for saying which font-families the browser should used for specific content: if you list one or more font-families then the browser will try each of those until it finds one that supports the text it needs to style, and it checks that for every letter. If there's a single letter that isn't supported by one font-family, it'll check a next font. And if it runs out of fonts to check (for instance, you only lists a single font-family value) then the browser will just guess, and pick whatever it feels like, which you don't want it to do.
So you (and only you) get to make sure your page CSS has a correct font-stack. Especially when you rely on external font resources, it's entirely realistic that some of the time those will not be available and your font-family instruction for that font will fail: what then? So at the very least always add the generic font family, but also add one or more of the "websafe" fonts in between. Will it look perfect? No, of course not, but it will look better than a complete guess by the browser.
Keep your generic category keywords, and add some more:
font-family: Ubuntu, Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;
Use full font-stacks, because you don't control the internet. Plan for when it doesn't do what you want.
I am trying to embed a font file to my tumblr blog using #font-face and Font Squirrel kit, but so far I had no luck. I also used base64 encoding for embedding the font, but neither in Safari nor Firefox I cannot get it to work.
Edit: Uploading files and using them to tumblr's static area works in Safari and for Latin script. The font I am trying to use includes characters from Old Turkic script, and I cannot get these to work. Any advice regarding the complex scripts would be appreciated.
My code is below:
#font-face {

How to proceed from now on?
Don't try to store and serve the font files on tumblr itself. This is likely not permitted by Tumblr TOS.
Put the font files somewhere else and it will work.
What you have done so far is, you defined the font-family. That will not make the browser use it.
Add this to your current custom css.
section.post {
font-family: "orkunregular";
}
You need to apply that Font to the HTML-Elements you want to use it on.
section.post would be only your own blogposts.
if you want everything to use that font, try:
* {
font-family: "orkunregular" !important;
}
Please check the TOS of Tumblr if they allow that kind of customization, or atleast host those Fonts on a seperate webserver.
Okay, I've solved it. When generating the font kit, I chose the Unicode range of the Old Turkic script, then when used the new kit, it displayed without any problems.
Here's the blog page, http://bitigchi.tumblr.com/indiriler1
Thanks for all the answers.
I have the following CSS:
font-family: 'HelveticaNeue-UltraLight', 'Helvetica Neue UltraLight', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 100; letter-spacing: 1px; }
It works on all Mac browsers (Chrome, Safari) But I opened my project on Chrome and Internet explorer on Windows, it displays the font as bold rather than light. I'm not sure how to fix this but I need the design to work cross platform with the design that appears on mac.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I've tried using arial but arial doesn't become light on both mac and windows.
The font you see on Windows is not bold, it is just regular Arial.
In almost all Windows systems, the first available font family among those listed in the font-family value is Arial. Since Arial has no typeface of weight 100, or of any weight less than 400, the normal (400) weight typeface is used instead, by the font matching algorithm.
Fonts in standard distributions of Windows generally lack typefaces with weight less than normal. So to use lighter typefaces, you would need to use downloadable fonts (web fonts) via #font-face. See e.g. Is #font-face usable now?
(SO has many specific questions on using #font-face, check them if you run into specific problems with it).
The font-family property inform the browser that it's needed to use that font. If there is no path for it, it will check if the system have that one.
In order to be able to have a font that will work on all systems, you need to use the #font-face property.
This last one will allow you to specify path for all the format font, that most of the browsers will download to display it correctly. (For your information all recent browser support it)
#font-face {
font-family: 'myFont';
src: url('myFont.eot');
src: url('myFont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('myFont.woff') format('woff'),
url('myFont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('myFont.svg#myFont') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
If you want more information about that property you can check the reference here:
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_font-face_rule.asp
Unfortunetly in your case the font HelveticaNeue is copyrighted, you need to buy the rights to be able to use it as a webfont.
You can take a look here about pricing:
http://www.fonts.com/search/all-fonts?searchtext=HelveticaNeue#product_top
Also, if you have already the right and have one of the format that you wish to convert to a webfont, you can accomplish that here:
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/
Finally, if you prefer you can use Google Fonts that will host the files for you, and you will just have a small script to insert inside your pages:
http://www.google.com/fonts
You can use web fonts (free or paid) as suggested by others, or just use a nice font stack that is likely to cover all bases. CSS Tricks has a nice set of them: http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/font-stacks/
In terms of font weight, your CSS specifies a very light font weight:
font-weight: 100;
So if you want to use bold Arial instead, you need to change that.
now, i want to use Monotype Corsiva. i add the font in my theme ,then in css file using font-family:Monotype Corsiva ,but some one tips me: font used for site title and headings is not working if it's not installed on users system. You should either remove font file from theme directory or include it in css file in apropriate way.
how to include it in css file in apropriate way? thank you
You need to use #font-face with your font in either .ttf or .eot
Below is an example
#font-face {
font-family: 'RieslingRegular';
src: url('fonts/riesling.eot');
src: local('Riesling Regular'), local('Riesling'), url('fonts/riesling.ttf') format('truetype');
}
h1 {
font-family: 'RieslingRegular', Arial, sans-serif;
}
For more details, look here http://bavotasan.com/2010/embedding-fonts-web-site-css-font-face/
Monotype Corsiva is a copyrighted font. Check out http://www.fonts.com for conditions and instructions for use. They have a policy that allows a limited number of page views (25,000) for free. The instructions and procedures might be a bit confusing, but in the end you will have a script element generated by them to add to your pages, and then you will just use the font under the name they give you (it seems to be Corsiva W01).
Alternative, try and find a suitably similar free font from Google Web Fonts, for example.
