[css] How to embed fonts in CSS?

I want to use some fonts and I want it to work without having this font on the client computer. I have done this but doesn't work:

@font-face {
    font-family: EntezareZohoor2;
    src: url(Entezar2.ttf) format("truetype");
}

.EntezarFont{
    font-family: EntezareZohoor2, B Nazanin, Tahoma !important;
}

This question is related to css fonts

The answer is


I used Ataturk's font like this. I didn't use "TTF" version. I translated orginal font version ("otf" version) to "eot" and "woof" version. Then It works in local but not working when I uploaded the files to server. So I added "TTF" version too like this. Now, It's working on Chrome and Firefox but Internet Explorer still defence. When you installed on your computer "Ataturk" font, then working IE too. But I wanted to use this font without installing.

@font-face {
    font-family: 'Ataturk';
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    src: url('font/ataturk.eot');
    src: local('Ataturk Regular'), url('font/ataturk.ttf') format('truetype'), 
    url('font/ataturk.woff') format('woff');
}

You can see it on my website here: http://www.canotur.com


Try this link1,link2

@font-face {
        font-family: 'RieslingRegular';
        src: url('fonts/riesling.eot');
        src: local('Riesling Regular'), local('Riesling'), url('fonts/riesling.ttf')                       format('truetype');
    }

When I went to Google fonts all they gave me were true type font files .ttf and didn't explain at all how to use the @font-face to include them into my document. I tried the web font generator from font squirrel too, which just kept running the loading gif and not working... I then found this site -

https://transfonter.org/

I had great success using the following method:

I selected the Add Fonts button, leaving the default options, added all of my .ttf that Google gave me for Open Sans (which was like 10, I chose a lot of options...).

Then I selected the Convert button.

Heres the best part!

They gave me a zip file with all the font format files I selected, .ttf, .woff and .eot. Inside that zip file they had a demo.html file that I just double clicked on and it opened up a web page in my browser showing me example usages of all the different css font options, how to implement them, and what they looked like etc.

@font-face

I still didn't know at this point how to include the fonts into my stylesheet properly using @font-face but then I noticed that this demo.html came with it's own stylesheet in the zip as well. I opened the stylesheet and it showed how to bring in all of the fonts using @font-face so I was able to quickly, and easily, copy paste this into my project -

@font-face {
    font-family: 'Open Sans';
    src: url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-BoldItalic.eot');
    src: url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-BoldItalic.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
        url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-BoldItalic.woff') format('woff'),
        url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-BoldItalic.ttf') format('truetype');
    font-weight: bold;
    font-style: italic;
}

@font-face {
    font-family: 'Open Sans';
    src: url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-LightItalic.eot');
    src: url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-LightItalic.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
        url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-LightItalic.woff') format('woff'),
        url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-LightItalic.ttf') format('truetype');
    font-weight: 300;
    font-style: italic;
}

@font-face {
    font-family: 'Open Sans';
    src: url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-SemiBold.eot');
    src: url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-SemiBold.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
        url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-SemiBold.woff') format('woff'),
        url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-SemiBold.ttf') format('truetype');
    font-weight: 600;
    font-style: normal;
}

@font-face {
    font-family: 'Open Sans';
    src: url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-Regular.eot');
    src: url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-Regular.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
        url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-Regular.woff') format('woff'),
        url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-Regular.ttf') format('truetype');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
}

@font-face {
    font-family: 'Open Sans';
    src: url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-Light.eot');
    src: url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-Light.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
        url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-Light.woff') format('woff'),
        url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-Light.ttf') format('truetype');
    font-weight: 300;
    font-style: normal;
}

@font-face {
    font-family: 'Open Sans';
    src: url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-Italic.eot');
    src: url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-Italic.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
        url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-Italic.woff') format('woff'),
        url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-Italic.ttf') format('truetype');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: italic;
}

@font-face {
    font-family: 'Open Sans';
    src: url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-SemiBoldItalic.eot');
    src: url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-SemiBoldItalic.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
        url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-SemiBoldItalic.woff') format('woff'),
        url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-SemiBoldItalic.ttf') format('truetype');
    font-weight: 600;
    font-style: italic;
}

@font-face {
    font-family: 'Open Sans';
    src: url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-ExtraBold.eot');
    src: url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-ExtraBold.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
        url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-ExtraBold.woff') format('woff'),
        url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-ExtraBold.ttf') format('truetype');
    font-weight: 800;
    font-style: normal;
}

@font-face {
    font-family: 'Open Sans';
    src: url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-ExtraBoldItalic.eot');
    src: url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-ExtraBoldItalic.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
        url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-ExtraBoldItalic.woff') format('woff'),
        url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-ExtraBoldItalic.ttf') format('truetype');
    font-weight: 800;
    font-style: italic;
}

@font-face {
    font-family: 'Open Sans';
    src: url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-Bold.eot');
    src: url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-Bold.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
        url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-Bold.woff') format('woff'),
        url('fonts/Open_Sans/OpenSans-Bold.ttf') format('truetype');
    font-weight: bold;
    font-style: normal;
}

The demo.html also had it's own inline stylesheet that was interesting to take a look at, though I am familiar with working with font weights and styles once they are included so I didn't need it much. For an example of how to implement a font style onto an html element for reference purposes you could use the following method in a similar case to mine after @font-face has been used properly -

html, body{
    margin: 0;
    font-family: 'Open Sans';
}
.banner h1{
    font-size: 43px;
    font-weight: 700;
}
.banner p{
    font-size: 24px;
    font-weight: 300;
    font-style: italic;
}

Go through http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-fonts/

Try this:

  @font-face {
        font-family: 'EntezareZohoor2';
        src: url('EntezareZohoor2.eot');
        src: local('EntezareZohoor2'), local('EntezareZohoor2'), url('EntezareZohoor2.ttf') format('svg');
       font-weight: normal;
       font-style: normal;
    }

One of the best source of information on this topic is Paul Irish's Bulletproof @font-face syntax article.

Read it and you will end with something like:

/* definition */
@font-face {
  font-family: EntezareZohoor2;
  src: url('fonts/EntezareZohoor2.eot');
  src: url('fonts/EntezareZohoor2.eot?') format('?'),
       url('fonts/EntezareZohoor2.woff') format('woff'),
       url('fonts/EntezareZohoor2.ttf') format('truetype');
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
}

/* use */
body {
    font-family: EntezareZohoor2, Tahoma, serif;
}
