How to use customised text?

[jewellim]

Can i use fonts other than standard fonts in html? I wish to ue fanciful text, so can i upload true type fonts into the web directory and direct the html codes to it? Thanks

You can, but you can't expect the user to be able to view that font. A standard CSS font-family declaration looks something like:

font-family: "Eras Light", Eras, Arial, sans-serif;

The ideal font goes first, followed by a few less-ideal-but-not-too-bad-looking ones (preferably ones common on the most common platforms at the time), then a generic font family for people who don't have any of the specified fonts.

You can try, but you probably won't be very successful.

Downloadable fonts was never something that caught on, nor is it really necessary. The usual selection are probably more readable, and stylised headings can be produced as images (with appropriate alternative text).
