External font????

[Iiro]

Is there any way to insert external font to web page?
I mean something like this:



<font src="fonts/Stylistic SF.ttf">Bla Bla Bla.</font>

'Fraid not. Microsoft came up with something to do something like this a long time ago, can't remember what it's called now, but I don't think it ever really caught on; it made page loading times too slow to be practical anyway.

Microsoft came up with something to do something like this a long time ago, can't remember what it's called now [...]Web Embedding Fonts Tool (http://www.microsoft.com/typography/web/embedding/weft3/default.htm) (WEFT). If the intent is to introduce a font purely for aethetic reasons, in full knowledge that other browsers (and some IE users) will not be able to use it, then there isn't much of a problem. However, it is not a way to facilitate internationalisation (http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/charset/i18n-weft.html) or provide one's own symbols.

You may consider Dynamic Text Replacement (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dynatext/) as an alternative.
