I have recently been trying to embed font to my website. I don't get it to work, i have watched and read tutorials. I wan't to embed a font called "Ubuntu Light" in ttf format. This is what i have been trying:
#logBtn{
font-family: 'UbuntuLight';
}
#font-face{
font-family: "UbuntuLight";
src: url("CSS/Ubuntu-L.ttf");
}
And the file in the folder: Treeview of project
I'm almost new to this, i've been coding HTML and CSS in maybe 4 months now.
I have been stuck at this before, and that made me cancel my project, because i gave up. But i don't want to give up again. So i would really appreciate some help! :)
You can embed a font quick and easy by using this code:
#font-face {
font-family: 'Name';
src: url('Font.ext');
font-weight: 400;
font-style: normal;
}
Where Font.ext should be replaced with your font file and its extention (file type) e.g.
src: url('Ubuntu-L.ttf');
And the following font-weight and font-style should be referencing the specific font choice.
The url(...) path is relative to the stylesheet.
Therefore, because your stylesheet is in the CSS folder you don't need to include that in the url:
#font-face{
font-family: "UbuntuLight";
src: url("Ubuntu-L.ttf");
}

I used this font face and it works fine:
#font-face {
font-family: IRANSansWebLight;
src: url(fonts/IRANSansWeb_Light.ttf) format("truetype")
}
But when I try to use the same font which is converted to woff it doesn't work:
#font-face {
font-family: IRANSansWebLight;
src: url(fonts/iransansweb_light-webfont.woff) format("woff");
}
What I'm missing?
As I don't know about your folder structure, I would suggest you to change the URL of the font to:
url(../fonts/iransansweb_light-webfont.woff)
If that doesn't fix your problem, you should try to use Google Font Helper. Search for your desired font and follow the instructions. Here's a link to it.
I have downloaded the font and added it to the Atom text editor but it doesn't seem to work...
<style type="text/css">
#font-face {
font-family: "avocado";
src: url("AvocadoCreamy.ttf");
src: url("AvocadoCreamy.otf");
}
h1 {
color: hsl(93, 100%, 51%);
text-align: center;
font-family: "avocado";
}
</style>
In your case, while using the #font-face tag, maybe the address to the URL provided is wrong or incomplete. Try the full address if the font file is locally downloaded.
The font file can be directly written to URL if it exists in the same directory as the CSS file.
Also, I would recommend the use of #import tag to import fonts in CSS.
#import url('/*YOUR URL TO FONT HERE*/');
Assuming you've copied the font file into your root folder (where your index.html file usually is). Instead of a '.ttf' or '.otf', '.woff' or '.woff2' work best for web fonts so consider using that if available. Also make sure the name used i 'src' is exactly the same as the file name in your root folder.

I am trying to add a local font to a site I am testing. It is called "AcrosstheRoad.ttf" and can be found in my assets/fonts/ folder. I am doing the following to try to read it into the CSS file:
#font-face {
font-family: 'AcrosstheRoad';
src: url('assets/fonts/AcrosstheRoad.ttf') format('truetype');
}
And I want to use it as a certain header type so I am using
h3{
font-family: 'AcrosstheRoad';
color: #333;
}
But unfortunately the font is not loading in. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

First add a slash before assets:
(('/assets/fonts/AcrosstheRoad.ttf'))
That may or may not be the problem, depending on where your CSS file is, and how your website is structured.
If the above doesn't work, convert the font to .woff2 and .woff (try using this: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator). The reasoning behind this is that some browsers are really picky. Change your CSS to:
#font-face {
font-family: 'AcrosstheRoad';
src: url('/assets/fonts/AcrosstheRoad.woff2') format('woff2'),
url('/assets/fonts/AcrosstheRoad.woff') format('woff');,
url('/assets/fonts/AcrosstheRoad.ttf') format('truetype');
}
I am trying to load a custom font in my website. In my style.css I have the following attributes declared
#font-face {
font-family: billabong;
src: url('./fonts/billabong.ttf');
font-weight: bold;
}
h1.header {
font-family: billabong;
}
And in my html I have the following code;
<h1 class="header">Welcome to</h1>
However, it seems to be defaulting to some other font type so i assume it cannot find it.
The font is back one directory from my css file, and inside a folder called fonts, have i provided the correct path for it to find it? If this is not the issue does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
try adding Apostrophes in the font-family attribute.
font-family: 'billabong';
Also use more formats. not all browsers support ttf.
read more about that here:http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/browser-fonts-support-comparison
You could export ttf to webfont here: http://www.font2web.com/
I think the only problem here is your directory.
Try first putting your font file all the way up to the same directory as your html file.
Then try this code:
#font-face {
font-family: billabong;
src: url(billabong.ttf);
font-weight: bold;
}
h1.header {
font-family: billabong;
}
If this doesn't work try putting your font-weight:bold; into the header class see if that helps.
If it works then put it back to where you had it. I hate to guess but as i understand you have a fonts file inside your css file. I am assuming that your html file is one directory higher than your css file. In that case you can say
#font-face {
font-family: billabong;
src: url(css/fonts/billabong.ttf);
font-weight: bold;
}
h1.header {
font-family: billabong;
}
You don't need to use apostrophes for your attribute or source url i have made many websites using custom fonts and haven't seen a problem with compatibility and such.
In any case i would always refer to the w3schools website they explain it the best way:
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_font-face_rule.asp
Hopefully that helps.
I have been attempting to install a font and use it in my CSS and have been unsuccessful at this. I would like to figure out where am I going wrong. I uploaded the .tff file in the same folder as the CSS file and added to the updated my css file in the appropriate manner.
here is a copy of what I have in my css:
#font-face
{
font-family: ImpactLabel;
src: url('ImpactLabel.tff');
}
p.change
{
font-family:ImpactLabel;
color: #A70C1E;
font-size:3em;
}
Here is my html file:
<p class="change">Text</p>
Check this ->
#font-face {
font-family: ImpactLabel;
src: url('ImpactLabel.ttf'), <-- Check if the path is correct (ttf not tff)
url('ImpactLabel.eot'); /* IE9 */
}
Then just call on your class:
.change {
font-family: 'ImpactLabel';
}
try this http://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator
#font-face {
font-family: 'primelight';
src: url('prime_light-webfont.eot');
src: url('prime_light-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('prime_light-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('prime_light-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('prime_light-webfont.svg#primelight') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
p.change{
font-family: "primelight", Verdana, Tahoma;
}
creat a repository in your website : fonts/prime/
put the prime files inside make sure you have something like this :PrimeLight.otf

Upload it to the FontSquirrel Webfont Generator and use the code and files it gives you. Problem solved!
FontSquirrel will generate several different formats of the font which are loaded selectively by different browsers and devices (and thus will give you the broadest compatibility).
Edit: Apparently this font is actually on FontSquirrel already, so all you need to do is click here and download the webfont kit from them.
