Anyone use the @font-face construct...
Any experiences would be good to hear ... still struggling to get it working in anything other than IE 8 .. that is a first for me because usually evreything works in FF & Opera but NOT in IE!!
The most common method of using unusual fonts on web pages seems to be sIFR's use of fonts which have been converted into flash files. Then javascript replaces specified portions of text in the page with the flash fonts. This is the approach taken by CC's "Website Font" software.
Thank you Cary - (should have replied weeks ago - my apologies!!)
I kinda knew that but I am looking at at @font-face because it apparently enables the fonts to resize when the user changes it at his end .. not so sure but really want to test it all out.
Thanks again

Ah, good point regarding the text resizing.
Here's a page where the font works with Webkit browsers (such as Safari and Chrome) as well as Opera and Firefox, but not IE. By the way, the font is looking terrible in Firefox, for me anyway.

This looks like the code he's using:
Paola, you say your test is working only with IE. Any chance the font was created with MS' Weft utility?

@font-face {
font-family: hanssolo;
src: url(hanssolo.ttf);
}
h1 {
font-family: hanssolo;
font-size: 3.2em;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
text-align: center;
