specific font-family for header

[monique]

Hello!

Please see: http://www.arti-mo.com/shamajo/. Be aware that this site is under development and no links are working yet. :o

In the center of the content you see the header of the page 'HOME'. Because of the corporate identity of the organization I am making this website for, I'd like to use their specific font for the header, which is "Khaki Std Two". On most computers this font-family doens't exist, so it will be shown as "Trebuchet MS" which is the 2nd font-family in css.

Does someone know of a way to enclose a specific font-family to a website (such as "Khaki Std Two" in this case) to make sure everybody sees it as it is meant to be?

Thanks and best regards,
Monique

you have to make the font file available for download, then have the font family set for your body tag to use that font.

there is no way for anyone on the otherside to see your fonts without them having that font. Its much better to go with any websafe fonts. Look for websafe fonts on google. You'll find a whole list of websites that have valuble information.

What you could though, is make your text area with your font a .jpg or anykind of image file. That way people without your font will see it in that font.

But most people would advise you not to do that.

No matter what you try, there will always be some people who don't view your website exactly as intended. The Web is not paper; it's flexible in that it allows the user-agent to display what it will. This has many advantages, and you shouldn't try to override the nature of the Web.

Personally, I rarely bother specifying fonts nowadays; unless there's a particular character or set of characters in a font that I feel would enhance the text for some specific reason, I tend to simply specify a font family (serif, sans-serif, monospace) and let the user and browser choose their preferred font.
