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/tutorials/css3-font-face-design-guide
Here is a good syntax for adding the font to your app:

Here are a couple of places to convert fonts for use with #font-face:

Also cufon will work if you don't want to use font-face, and it has good documentation on the web site:

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.

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

I am building a website for school, and want to use a special font, but when I import it, it doesn't show the font. I tried using the #face-font{font-family: something; src: url(font.ttf); The css I use it on looks like this: header{font-family: something;}And I tried this also with a .otf file, but that didn't work either. I also tried <link ref="font" href="font.ttf"> And also this with a .otf file. But in al cases the font didnt show up. Is it my fault in some code, or is the font just not useable? The link to the font is: http://www.fontspace.com/darrell-flood/quiet-meows
To include the custom font you'll need this somewhere in your CSS:
#font-face {
font-family: 'QuietMeows';
src: url('../fonts/quiet_meows.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('../fonts/quiet_meows.otf') format('opentype');
}
After downloading the font you will need to move it into your project, I put it into a fonts folder and renamed to be quiet_meows.
Then you can use it in your CSS like this:
p {
font-family: 'QuietMeows';
}
Note: If the name of a font family is more than one word, it must be in quotation marks, like: "Times New Roman".
<style>
#font-face {
font-family: myFirstFont;
src: url(sansation_light.woff);
}
#font-face {
font-family: myFirstFont;
src: url(sansation_bold.woff);
font-weight: bold;
}
* {
font-family: myFirstFont;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>The #font-face Rule</h1>
<div>
With CSS, websites can use <b>fonts other than the pre-selected "web-safe" fonts</b>.
</div>
<p><b>Note:</b> Internet Explorer 8 and earlier, do not support the #font-face rule.</p>
The problem was fixed by adding the format tag. After this, the font did show up on the page. The end looked like this.
#font-face{
font-family: "quiet meows";
src: url('font.ttf') format('truetype');
}
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;
I have downloaded a font called "steelfish" that contains these files
steelfish outline
steelfish rg it
steelfish rg
and I have set these in my css file like this:
#font-face {
font-family: 'Stellfish Outline';
src: url('fonts/steelfish outline.ttf') format('truetype'),
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'Stellfish Regular';
src: url('fonts/steelfish rg.ttf') format('truetype'),
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'Stellfish Italic';
src: url('fonts/steelfish rg it.ttf') format('truetype'),
}
but when I try to apply my custom font to any text then it doesn't take that font style.
<strong style="font-family:'Steelfish Italic' ">
</strong>
I need help in this issue.
thanks
Get rid of the spaces in the file names or replace them with dashes. Then update your css accordingly. Also, inline style declarations are kind of frowned upon. Pull them into your css stylesheet if you can. They'll work like you have them, but not "proper".
Just use Google Fonts. It's really simple:
Select a font from their website (https://www.google.com/fonts) and import the file in your <head></head> tag:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
Then apply that font in your CSS:
.text { font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; }
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 :)
