In my webpage, using google web fonts is ok.
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Source+Code+Pro:300,400,600,700,300italic,400italic,600italic">
<div style="font-family: 'Source Code Pro';">My Text</div>
it's ok using like this. But I've server hosted .otf font and I want to use it on my webpage, I've tried using like
#font-face {
font-family: 'MyFontName';
src: url("https://www.mywebsitepage.com/fonts/MyHostedFont.otf") format("opentype");
}
<div style="font-family: 'MyFontName';">My Text</div>
But it doesn't work. The reason why use my font is I can't find my font in free google web fonts.
Regarding to your sample, I hope that not the case you are really using it. I mean you have separate .css file which includes the font-face declaration and you attach this file in the head of your document, or using it like a part of <style>...</style> construction better also in head of document. If yes, so you can try to not use .otf, but using .woff and .woff2 instead.
It's not proper way to use .otf for web fonts now. Currently, if you don't really need support old versions of IE (8 and lower) you can just load fonts in .woff and .woff2 formats and that will cover your needs.
Like this:
#font-face {
font-family: "Open Sans";
src: url("/fonts/OpenSans-Regular-webfont.woff2") format("woff2"),
url("/fonts/OpenSans-Regular-webfont.woff") format("woff");
}
If you have .otf font you can really easy convert it to need web-font formats using some online generators like https://transfonter.org/ or similar.

Is there an easy way to display webpages in computer modern font?
The easiest and most stable way to do this I found was to base64 a font I found at http://mirrors.concertpass.com/tex-archive/fonts/cm-unicode/fonts/otf/. I used the cmunrm.otf from there, base64'ed it and put it as a font face in my css.
#font-face {
font-family: "my-font";
src: url(data:font/truetype;charset=utf-8;base64,T1R...gP5w/kP+RAA format("opentype");
}
body {
font-family: "my-font";
}
You can see an example at https://jsfiddle.net/jtvx9auo/
While you could also simply download the otf file and put it to your server, I found base64ing to be more reliable, e.g. when trying to convert to pdf using wkhtmltopdf.
In case anyone still stumbles upon this (2020+) looking for the optimised web fonts rather than the larger .otf fonts which are used in the answer above, I've hosted the Computer Modern font family via the jsDelivr CDN.
To use it, you can add a <link> to your html <head> which requests the optimised fonts through the following address:
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/aaaakshat/cm-web-fonts#latest/fonts.css
And then just add the Computer Modern Serif or sans-serif families directly in your css files.
Example Code:
<head>
<!-- Other imports... -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/aaaakshat/cm-web-fonts#latest/fonts.css">
<style>
body {
font-family: "Computer Modern Serif", serif;
}
</style>
</head>
Check out the full documentation here
I want to print an HTML page, that contains Font Awesome icons, with wkhtmltopdf. I saw this issue with Google fonts: Google Web Fonts and PDF generation from HTML with wkhtmltopdf, but this way is not working.
I solved this by inlining the TTF version of the file like this:
<style type="text/css">
#font-face {
font-family: 'FontAwesome';
src: url(data:application/x-font-truetype;base64,<< insert base64 encoded fontawesome-webfont.ttf here >>) format('truetype');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
</style>
And then inlining the font-awesome.css file. BUT you need to remove the #font-face at-rule of that file, since wkhtmltopdf doesn't like multiple #font-faces that define the same font. You can do that by either inlining a modified version of the file or by using a RegEx to remove the at-rule (e.g.: #font-face\s*\{[^\}]*\}).
(I tried leaving the original #font-face intact, hoping a later definition would overwrite it, but that didn't work. The CSS standard doesn't seem to define what happens when two #font-face for the same font appear, if I read it correctly)
Do you have any examples ??
I saw something similar in this issue:
https://github.com/mileszs/wicked_pdf/issues/587
The filename contains a carriage return character, which is not a valid display symbol. The glyph you're seeing is one usually research for private Unicode character areas.
Add the .woff file in your Font Awesome lib dir (no base64 in css) and it should work.
I'm currently making a webpage that imports the needed fonts from Google Fonts this way:
#import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Italianno);
The problem is that every time I load the page I need to be connected to the Internet and it also takes time to load the font. Is there any way I can load the font offline because while testing the page I'll be refreshing it countless number of times and I might not be connected to the internet all the time and I don't want to wait for 3-5 seconds every time for the font to be loaded.
I tried installing the font in the system and then using it in the CSS. It didn't work.
Hey make a fonts folder with css folder and put the desired font there. Then in CSS call this code as example for MeriyoUI font as mentioned below. This would load the font onto your app.
For this you just need to download the font and put that in fonts folder. (pre-requisite).Try using web safe fonts.
Hope it helps.
CSS
#font-face
{
font-family: 'Meiryo UI';
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
src: url('../fonts/MeiryoUI.ttf');
}
1. create a folder in website directory and move your fonts
to it! ( .ttf , .eot , .woff )
example: directory --> webfonts
2. create a css document for that!
example: directory --> css --> webfont.css
3. use this code into webfonts.css
#font-face {
font-family: 'name';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: url('../webfonts/fontname.eot');
src: url('../webfonts/fontname.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../webfonts/fontname.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('../webfonts/fontname.woff') format('woff'),
url('../webfonts/fontname.ttf') format('truetype');
}
4. and in the first line of haed element into your webpage, use bellow code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/webfonts.css" type="text/css"/>
Use CSS3 #font-face. Try making font face of your fonts from any fontface generator like this http://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator. And to learn how to use them take a look in here http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/using-font-face/

How to embed fonts in HTML?
(6 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
In order for my website to look good I need to use a custom font, specifically, Thonburi-Bold. The problem is - the font does not get displayed unless the user has installed it. It also isn't displayed in firefox.
Is there a workaround to this problem?
You have to import the font in your stylesheet like this:
#font-face{
font-family: "Thonburi-Bold";
src: url('Thonburi-Bold.ttf'),
url('Thonburi-Bold.eot'); /* IE */
}
You can use CSS3 font-face or webfonts
#font-face usage
#font-face {
font-family: Delicious;
src: url('Delicious-Roman.otf');
}
webfonts
take a look at Google Webfonts, http://www.google.com/webfonts
Yes, there is a way. Its called custom fonts in CSS.Your CSS needs to be modified, and you need to upload those fonts to your website.
The CSS required for this is:
#font-face {
font-family: Thonburi-Bold;
src: url('pathway/Thonburi-Bold.otf');
}
CSS lets you use custom fonts, downloadable fonts on your website. You can download the font of your preference, let’s say myfont.ttf, and upload it to your remote server where your blog or website is hosted.
#font-face {
font-family: myfont;
src: url('myfont.ttf');
}
First, you gotta put your font as either a .otf or .ttf somewhere on your server.
Then use CSS to declare the new font family like this:
#font-face {
font-family: MyFont;
src: url('pathway/myfont.otf');
}
If you link your document to the CSS file that you declared your font family in, you can use that font just like any other font.
I am in a Rails project and I am using two fonts which are in the /assets/fonts folder.
#font-face {
font-family: FuturaStd-Light;
src: url("/assets/fonts/FuturaStd-Light.otf");
}
#font-face {
font-family: HelveticaNeue;
src: url("/assets/fonts//HelveticaNeue.dfont");
}
The fonts are very big files (especially the second one) and it is taking forever to load them. And in every page the text appears after everything else.
Is there a better way to load the fonts? Is there a way to cache them? Any ideas?
#font-face is a wonderful technique, but large font files will definitely slow down your site. There are many techniques you can use to combat this:
use a font-hosting service like google fonts or typekit
host your font files on a CDN
optimize your font files using a service like fontsquirrel
One thing in particular to watch out for is that IE will block the rendering of the entire page if there's a SCRIPT element before your stylesheet. So make sure that all your stylesheet links are above any javascript files you're loading.

I agree with Scott, #font-face may slow down your site and so depending on your goals you may want to go with google fonts, typekit, or another online font provider. For a project I'm currently working on I chose google fonts. All you have to do is add the snippet google web fonts to your to your applications.html.erb:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans:400,700,400italic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
And then add it to your css file:
h1 {
font-family: "PT Sans", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
