Embedding Font ??

I would like to use the Papyrus font in a web page. I could create images for each use, would prefer to do something like embed it. I was unable to install and run WEFT, and then read that maybe this was not a good approach anyway. Comments??? thanks.. Harry

As far as I know, there is no fullproof way to ensure that all users viewing your page will see the font. I believe that embedding it will only allow those using IE to see the font, other browsers will not display it.

The best thing to do would be to declare several fonts that could be used to view your site, with papyrus being the first. That way, if the user has papyrus, it will be used, otherwise another font will.

If you want to ensure that all your visitors see the papyrus font, then you will have to use images or flash.

You could also wait until the @font-face at-rule is standardized in CSS3, though it was left out of CSS when CSS2 was revised as CSS2.1, so it may be left out again.

Some designers use browser-proprietary code for an 'enhanced' experience. For example, changing the scrollbar colors (IE-only) or using CSS dropdown menus with no JavaScript (most non-IE browsers).
