Hi!
The cuestion is, how can i include fonts in drupal 6? I created a theme with Artistier and I created my theme including a special ttf font, when I view the page in my PC which has the font instaled, I can see the page well, but when I try to see the page from other machine, Drupal changes the fonts.
can you help me?
thanks a lot
As far as I know, there are a bunch of fonts that are called "web-safe", meaning they will be visible on all major operating systems. Arial / Helvetica, Times New Roman / Times, Courier New / Courier etc. Here is a full list http://web.mit.edu/jmorzins/www/fonts.html
If you use the *"font-family: Arial,Verdana,Georgia;"* CSS attribute, the browser will fall back along that list - if Arial isn't available, use Verdana, if not, Georgia.
Having said all that, I also have some questions along this line:
1. Can non-standard fonts be used? If a user has, for example, "flowery-cursive" font on their pc, and I specify the the css to use "font:flowery-cursive;", will that work?
2. I remember some websites way back in the 1997-1999 period would ask the user to download fonts. What is all that about?
Cheers Alex

Yes, i'm using a non-standard font, I will going to test if this issue is working, but in this way the visualization would depend by the final user, I want that the visualization not depends of the final user. Can I embed a ttf font into my theme or drupal system?
newly, thanks a lot

Short answer: no.
Long answer: someday soon.

Drupal changes the fonts.
This is not because of drupal, it is because of the fonts installed in that computer. Drupal merely serves the markup the way you write it. Even a plain HTML page will show you the same result.
With regard to using cufon or sIFR, you should have redistribution rights or license to put the font in a server before putting them in a theme. Just FYI.

If you are interesting in sIFR, look at http://drupal.org/project/sifr http://drupal.org/project/sifrI'd only use it for limited text, say, node titles or something: not body text.
