Question

I dont really understand much about fonts, I have donwloaded several font from sites like font squirrel, dafont, and when I try installing in my joomla site, ( I only need to have this font on my menu top) no whole body nor h1,h2 tags.

The font dont display correclty, I tested a font on my personal compuet at home IE9and was able to have it working , but in IE 8 here at job it does not display … So what would be the best way to have it working on IE8, what is the font type , and css declaration I need? Thank you very much

here are two fonts:

    @font-face {
     font-family: Opificio;
     src: url("../fonts/Opificio.eot") /* EOT file for IE */
    }
    @font-face {
     font-family: Opificio;
     src: url("../fonts/Ofificio.TTF") /* TTF file for CSS3 browsers */
    }



    @font-face {
     font-family: chiser;
     src: url("../fonts/chiser.eot") /* EOT file for IE */
    }
    @font-face {
     font-family: chiser;
     src: url("../fonts/chiser.TTF") /* TTF file for CSS3 browsers */
    }


#tx-navigation{
    font-family:"Opificio";
    font-size:11px;
    }


That works


#tx-navigation{
    font-family:"chiser";
    font-size:11px;
    }

Doesnt work

Answer 1

The font on a web site will get displayed depending on the installed fonts on the system, that’s why you should use the font-family CSS Property.

[EDIT] You can also try to use embeded fonts.
