[alaia]

Hi!!!
Happy New year!!!

I have this site http://www.theplatform.gr and i want to buy this font, which is FUTURA and make it with this font. Can somebody help me how to use a custom font to my website? Will it be ok in all browsers??

Using CSS and the @fontface attribute is what you are looking for I believe.


@font-face
{
font-family: myFirstFont;
src: url('your_font_file.ttf'),
url('your_font_file.eot'); /* IE */
}


The @font-face rule is supported in all major browsers.

Internet Explorer only supports .eot type fonts.

Hope this helps.

Another note in which may help you is using font face generator's available online. These are useful when your font's are not in both .ttf and .eot formats
Try taking a look at Font Squirrel (http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator) if so. I know it's been useful to myself in the past.
