CSS Custom Font-Face
On the request of my friends, this post will show you how to simply add your own font face to your website using CSS. This comes in handy when you want to display dynamic text on a webpage when the user does not have the font installed on their system. This is a very old CSS trick that is not used very much and is not even CSS3. It will work in all browsers but Internet Explorer. The reason being is that Internet Explorer uses a different font-face type. For this tutorial we will be using the “True Type” format for our fonts and has the “.ttf” file extension, you can download any True Type font and use it.

MAC VS PC
