If you want your fonts to really stand out from the crowd, CSS&#8217;s @font-face selector is the tool to use. CSS&#8217;s @font-face rule allows web designers to use <em>any<\/em>\u00a0 font they&#8217;d like on a website. As long as the font files are on the site&#8217;s server, any user should be able to view the site and the correct font, regardless of the different computers or browsers they might be using.<\/p>\n<p>Using @font-face is simple. All you have to do is upload your font to the server and include the @font-face rule in your CSS file, like this:<\/p>\n<div id=\"ig-sh-1\" class=\"syntax_hilite\">\r\n\r\n\t\t<div class=\"toolbar\">\r\n\r\n\t\t<div class=\"view-different-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" class=\"view-different\">&lt; View <span>plain text<\/span> &gt;<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<div class=\"language-name\">css<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t<br clear=\"both\">\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\r\n\t<div class=\"code\">\r\n\t\t<ol class=\"css\" style=\"font-family:monospace\"><li style=\"font-weight: normal;vertical-align:top\"><div style=\"font: normal normal 1em\/1.2em monospace;margin:0;padding:0;background:none;vertical-align:top\"><span style=\"color: #a1a100\">@font-face{<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: normal;vertical-align:top\"><div style=\"font: normal normal 1em\/1.2em monospace;margin:0;padding:0;background:none;vertical-align:top\">&nbsp; <span style=\"color: #000000;font-weight: bold\">font-family<\/span><span style=\"color: #00AA00\">:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ff0000\">&quot;Your Font Name&quot;<\/span><span style=\"color: #00AA00\">;<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: normal;vertical-align:top\"><div style=\"font: normal normal 1em\/1.2em monospace;margin:0;padding:0;background:none;vertical-align:top\">&nbsp; src<span style=\"color: #00AA00\">:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #993333\">url<\/span><span style=\"color: #00AA00\">&#040;<\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;font-style: italic\">\/path\/to\/your\/font.ttf<\/span><span style=\"color: #00AA00\">&#041;<\/span><span style=\"color: #00AA00\">;<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: normal;vertical-align:top\"><div style=\"font: normal normal 1em\/1.2em monospace;margin:0;padding:0;background:none;vertical-align:top\"><span style=\"color: #00AA00\">&#125;<\/span><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ol>\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<p>And just like that, all your users will be able to see <em>exactly<\/em> the font you want them to see.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-socializer wpsr-share-icons \" data-lg-action=\"show\" data-sm-action=\"show\" data-sm-width=\"768\" ><h3>Share and Enjoy !<\/h3><div class=\"wpsr-si-inner\"><div class=\"wpsr-counter wpsrc-sz-32px\" style=\"color:#000\"><span class=\"scount\"><span data-wpsrs=\"\" data-wpsrs-svcs=\"facebook,twitter,linkedin,pinterest,print,pdf\">0<\/span><\/span><small class=\"stext\">Shares<\/small><\/div><div class=\"socializer sr-popup sr-32px sr-circle sr-opacity sr-pad sr-count-1 sr-count-1\"><span class=\"sr-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share this on Facebook\"  style=\"color: #ffffff\" ><i class=\"fab fa-facebook-f\"><\/i><span class=\"ctext\"><span data-wpsrs=\"\" data-wpsrs-svcs=\"facebook\">0<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=%20-%20%20\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Tweet this !\"  style=\"color: #ffffff\" ><i class=\"fab fa-twitter\"><\/i><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/sharing\/share-offsite\/?url=\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Add this to LinkedIn\"  style=\"color: #ffffff\" ><i class=\"fab fa-linkedin-in\"><\/i><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=&amp;media=&amp;description=\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Submit this to Pinterest\"  style=\"color: #ffffff\" data-pin-custom=\"true\"><i class=\"fab fa-pinterest\"><\/i><span class=\"ctext\"><span data-wpsrs=\"\" data-wpsrs-svcs=\"pinterest\">0<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.printfriendly.com\/print?url=\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Print this article \"  style=\"color: #ffffff\" ><i class=\"fa fa-print\"><\/i><\/a><\/span>\n<span class=\"sr-pdf\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.printfriendly.com\/print?url=\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Convert to PDF\"  style=\"color: #ffffff\" ><i class=\"fa fa-file-pdf\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gone are the days of being limited to using only a handful of fonts in web design because of compatibility issues.
