whats the best way to..

i want to use a font (distress) on a web page and want to embed the font instead of using pictures.

Whats the best way to *embed* a font so when people see the page they see the font i have used on my hjouse. I tried embedding it as people do with music but that dosent seem to work any of you guys ever tried/acomplish this before?

There is an IE only method for doing this... But it is IE only, so I don't know or care how to do it. I think there was a tutorial at www.spoono.com on how to do it though.

yeah i would have thought it was easier that what im reading. Seems like you have to use a utillity to make a embeded font
Its crazy they should make it easy for this to happen. I prefer embeding a font rather that using a graphicv for my text. Well i guess i have to live with it...unless somebody here knows another way??????

You can do this...

That way you still have text in the HTML, but it looks like a graphic to most people.

But other than that, there is no way to force people to download fonts.

HAPPY HOLLOWEEN

Ultimately you'll find that it's not worth it, since WEFT is a pain in the gluteus maximus.
