How to use outside fonts in CSS - html

I have downloaded a folder full of svg and otf-files. They contain a font that I would like to use in my html-document. Here's what the folder looks like:
First question:
Which of the files should I use? I understand that "process.svg" and "process-yellow.svg" probably have different colors, BUT, when we have one "process-yellow.svg" and one "process-yellow.otf", which one should I use?
Second question:
How do I use the font in my HTML document? So far I've tried this:
In the html16.html style-element:
<style type="text/css">
#font-face {
font-family:'Process';
src: url('/fonts/process.svg#process') format('svg');
}
p.text1 {
width: 140px;
border: 1px solid black;
word-break: keep-all;
font-family: 'Process';
}
</style>
In the html16.html body-element:
<body>
<b>word-break:keep-all</b>
<p class="text1">Tutorials Point originated from the idea that there exists-a class of readers who respond better to online content and prefer to learn new skills at their own pace from the comforts of their drawing rooms.</p>
</body>
But it doesn't do anything to the font. It just looks like it would look without me changing the font.
EDIT: It should be added that importing woff-fonts works for me, like I did here:
#font-face {
font-family:Process;
src: url(https://www.tutorialspoint.com/css/font/SansationLight.woff);
}

If web embedding is allowed. You can generate other font type files from here, which works for the older browsers.
#font-face {
font-family: 'Process';
src: url('/fonts/process.eot') format('embedded-opentype'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('/fonts/process.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('/fonts/process.woff') format('woff'), /* Modern Browsers */
url('/fonts/process.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('/fonts/process.svg#process') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}

This should work. Please check with below syntax.
#font-face {
font-family: novalight;
src: url('/static/src/fonts/novalight.otf');
}
.proximanovalight {
font-family : novalight, sans-serif;
}

Try This - Import like so,
#import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=El+Messiri');
Then use:
font-family: 'El Messiri', sans-serif;

why does the css font-family changes on other computers? [duplicate]

I am not using flash or php - and I have been asked to add a custom font to a simple HTML layout. "KG June Bug"
I have it downloaded locally - is there a simple CSS trick to accomplish this?
Yes, you can use the CSS feature named #font-face.
It has only been officially approved in CSS3, but been proposed and implemented in CSS2 and has been supported in IE for quite a long time.
You declare it in the CSS like this:
#font-face { font-family: Delicious; src: url('Delicious-Roman.otf'); }
#font-face { font-family: Delicious; font-weight: bold; src: url('Delicious-Bold.otf');}
Then, you can just reference it like the other standard fonts:
h3 { font-family: Delicious, sans-serif; }
So, in this case,
<html>
<head>
<style>
#font-face { font-family: JuneBug; src: url('JUNEBUG.TTF'); }
h1 {
font-family: JuneBug
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hey, June</h1>
</body>
</html>
And you just need to put the JUNEBUG.TFF in the same location as the html file.
I downloaded the font from the dafont.com website:
http://www.dafont.com/junebug.font
You can use #font-face in most modern browsers.
Here's some articles on how it works:
http://webdesignerwall.com/general/font-face-solutions-suggestions
http://webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/css3-font-face-design-guide
Here is a good syntax for adding the font to your app:
http://www.fontspring.com/blog/further-hardening-of-the-bulletproof-syntax
Here are a couple of places to convert fonts for use with #font-face:
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator
http://fontface.codeandmore.com/
http://www.font2web.com/
Also cufon will work if you don't want to use font-face, and it has good documentation on the web site:
http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/
For the best possible browser support, your CSS code should look like this :
#font-face {
font-family: 'MyWebFont';
src: url('webfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('webfont.woff2') format('woff2'), /* Super Modern Browsers */
url('webfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Pretty Modern Browsers */
url('webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}
body {
font-family: 'MyWebFont', Fallback, sans-serif;
}
For more info, see the article Using #font-face at CSS-tricks.com.
Try this
#font-face {
src: url(fonts/Market_vilis.ttf) format("truetype");
}
div.FontMarket {
font-family: Market Deco;
}
<div class="FontMarket">KhonKaen Market</div>
vilis.org
If you are using an external style sheet, the code could look something like this:
#font-face { font-family: Junebug; src: url('Junebug.ttf'); }
.junebug { font-family: Junebug; font-size: 4.2em; }
And should be saved in a separate .css file (eg styles.css). If your .css file is in a location separate from the page code, the actual font file should have the same path as the .css file, NOT the .html or .php web page file. Then the web page needs something like:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles.css">
in the <head> section of your html page. In this example, the font file should be located in the css folder along with the stylesheet. After this, simply add the class="junebug" inside any tag in your html to use Junebug font in that element.
If you're putting the css in the actual web page, add the style tag in the head of the html like:
<style>
#font-face { font-family: Junebug; src: url('Junebug.ttf'); }
</style>
And the actual element style can either be included in the above <style> and called per element by class or id, or you can just declare the style inline with the element. By element I mean <div>, <p>, <h1> or any other element within the html that needs to use the Junebug font. With both of these options, the font file (Junebug.ttf) should be located in the same path as the html page. Of these two options, the best practice would look like:
<style>
#font-face { font-family: Junebug; src: url('Junebug.ttf'); }
.junebug { font-family: Junebug; font-size: 4.2em; }
</style>
and
<h1 class="junebug">This is Junebug</h1>
And the least acceptable way would be:
<style>
#font-face { font-family: Junebug; src: url('Junebug.ttf'); }
</style>
and
<h1 style="font-family: Junebug;">This is Junebug</h1>
The reason it's not good to use inline styles is best practice dictates that styles should be kept all in one place so editing is practical. This is also the main reason that I recommend using the very first option of using external style sheets. I hope this helps.
there is a simple way to do this:
in the html file add:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="fonts/vermin_vibes.ttf" />
Note: you put the name of .ttf file you have.
then go to to your css file and add:
h1 {
color: blue;
font-family: vermin vibes;
}
Note: you put the font family name of the font you have.
Note: do not write the font-family name as your font.ttf name
example: if your font.ttf name is: "vermin_vibes.ttf" your font-family will be: "vermin vibes" font family doesn't contain special chars as "-,_"...etc it only can contain spaces.

How do I change the font-family of a <button> element?

This is my only CSS
#font-face {
font-family: 'thefont';
src: url('fonts/the-font.otf');
font-style: normal;
}
body {
font-family: 'thefont';
}
When I do a <button>Hi</button> the font ends up being -apple-system.
If I actually assign the font to button, it will make the font appear.
Does anyone know why it's not affecting the body and everything inside it?
In addition to the info below, to ensure your custom font is being taken into account for the button, you need to apply
button {
font-family : inherit;
font-size: 1em;
}
to all button elements.
You can inspect how they do it there:
http://purecss.io/buttons/
or there:
http://getbootstrap.com/css/#buttons
Also make sure that your font is exported in several different formats so that it is supported by all platforms.
You can use FontSquirrel Generator to export your font to all formats.
Your CSS should look a bit like that:
#font-face {
font-family: 'thefont';
src: url('the-font.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('the-font.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('the-font.woff2') format('woff2'), /* Super Modern Browsers */
url('the-font.woff') format('woff'), /* Pretty Modern Browsers */
url('the-font.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('the-font.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}

CSS - Include multiple fonts in one CSS file

How can I add more that one font in a CSS file? I have tried the following but it doesn't seem to work.
#font-face {
font-family: 'Inspira_Reg';
src: url('http://myfonturl.com');
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'Inspira_Bold';
src: url('http://myfonturl.com');
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'Inspira_Italic';
src: url('http://myfonturl.com');
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'Inspira_Medium';
src: url('http://myfonturl.com');
}
And then to use the font, I simply set the font-family property in the CSS IDs like so:
#titleSection {
margin: 25px 5px auto auto;
font-size: 11px;
text-align:left;
font-family: 'Inspira_Reg';
color: black;
}
But it doesn't seem to work. The font doesn't seem to get recognized, it just seems to use Arial or whatever the default is.
I am using the latest version of Google Chrome and the font types I am using are TTF files.
Thanks, Dan.
The #font-face rule allows custom fonts to be loaded on a webpage.
Once added to a stylesheet, the rule instructs the browser to download
the font from where it is hosted, then display it as specified in the
CSS.
For cross browser compatibility, It seems that font-face requires multiple definitions. For example, this is from a CSS-tricks article:
#font-face {
font-family: 'MyWebFont';
src: url('webfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('webfont.woff2') format('woff2'), /* Super Modern Browsers */
url('webfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Pretty Modern Browsers */
url('webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}
An alternative to using this would be to use an import (which would need to be placed at the start of your css file)
Something like:
#import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans);
which could then be used via:
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
This could be used for multiple fonts, by importing them at the top of your CSS, and using the font-family declaration.
For many different fonts, and more information on using them, you could have a look here on google fonts
well every thing looks good except for the font url. you should give the local address of your font. let me give you an full example buddy:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#font-face {
font-family: myFirstFont;
src: url(sansation_light.woff);
}
div {
font-family: myFirstFont;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
With CSS3, websites can finally use fonts other than the pre-selected "web-safe" fonts.
</div>
<p><b>Note:</b> Internet Explorer 8 and earlier, do not support the #font-face rule.</p>
</body>
</html>
so place your font the html folder and use the code :)

#font-face not loading custom font

I'm trying to use a custom font (.oft) that I have uploaded into my font folder in my filesystem.
I've declared the font in CSS with the following:
#font-face {
font-family: '400'; /*a name to be used later*/
src: url('../font/400ml-Regular.otf'); /*URL to font*/
}
and called it with :
.intro .slogan {
text-align: center;
font-family: '400';
}
My index.html page is in the root folder (var/www/html) and the css and font are in /var/www/html/css and /var/www/html/font respectively (so i think the '..' in the src is correct). I've also added the following to .htaccess
AddType font/otf .otf
but i'm still not even able to see it loading in developer tools.
Does anyone have any advice?
To make #font-face work across different browsers and OP you need to make it like this
#font-face {
font-family: '400';
src: url('400ml-Regular.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
src: url('400ml-Regular.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
url('400ml-Regular.woff') format('woff'), /* Modern Browsers */
url('400ml-Regular.ttf') format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
url('400ml-Regular.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}
Use a fontface generator to make different font formats. Try fontsquirel or simillar :)
