Hi guys,

I have an issue, I've designed my site and I'm happy with it but when I've published it - the embassy font hasn't come up - have I just been an arse and done something stupid ???

REALLY would like this sorted soon

Thanks,

Jim

It would certainly be helpful to have a link to your site Jim. ;)

Look at the <style> tag. You are using that font:

<style type="text/css">
body{margin:0;padding:0;}
.Artistic-Body-P
{
margin:0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align:center; font-weight:400;
}
.Artistic-Body-C
{
font-family:"Embassy BT", cursive; color:#ffffff; font-size:96.0px; line-height:1.25em;
}
</style>

Seems not all can see it that way though - I assumed these things were universal - is there anyway I can make it appear the way I see it for everyone ???

I've just checked on my blackberry and that's coming up looking awful !!! Maybe I should just give up making websites and pay for one to be done !!!

As far as I know, the embassy font is not a so-called 'websafe' font. To be able to use it, you could look in the Google webfont repository. If it's there, you can use it by linking to a certain google apis file. It's explained on the site how to do it.

If the embassy font is NOT there, you need to create a 'web-font-kit': http://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator.

Hi Jim,

I drove myself nuts trying to get my sites fonts to match up across all devices and you are stuck to a very few of the websafe fonts. Inger touched on something there about the Google fonts. I have been doing a lot of research and will start implementing Google fonts into my upcoming websites.

It seems pretty easy to use and Google gives really good instructions on how to embed them on your website. If you get stuck let us know.
