Adding fonts to Dreamweaver

I am working on a site in which I want to use some fonts which are outside the choice of the wellknown webfonts we all use normally.
I am getting myself familiar with @font-face, typekit and Google fonts. Ran some tests on a test server and it worked.
However I want to use some of these free, open source fonts like Yanone Kaffesatz and Museo locally.
So I downloaded these fonts, loaded and activated them in my system trough Linoype Fontexplorer.
Now I try to get them to work in Dreamweaver, which does not work.
What I tried is adding them to the fontlist by using "edit Font List" from the bottom of the font list.
Then defined the font-family with them,like so:
font-family: "Yanone Kaffeesatz Bold";
When I preview the site in a browser the font does not show.
Some do, like League Gothic, but the ones I like to use, Kaffeesatz and Museo, don't.
These fonts do work correctly in other programs though.
I am on a mac and use DW CS4. Site is a straightforward HTML/CSS site which lives on my computer.
Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks

Type-Kit's portfolio plan costs me about $1 a week for the full run of their fonts. I don't bother to charge clients for using it. (How would I charge? An ongoing $4/5 clients per month? That's just silly.
The system is very easy to use; complete directions are, of course, on their website. Essentially, you set up a 'typekit' file in your account at Typekit for a specific url/domain, and either designate tags (I typically use h1, h2, and h3 tags, but you can also use p tags, etc.). All of those tags on pages that carry the proper 2-line javascript in the head of the page automatically use the typekit font.
You can also add the typekit class (I believe it's a class) to other tags to invoke the typekit font whenever you want to use it in a site, as long as it is registered in your typekit. I think I have five or six typekits set up now, and I'm just brushing the surface of how to use it.
Typekit also makes available 120+ Adobe fonts, which is how I heard about the service.
In my personal opinion, if you are hesitant to use a font from anywhere because you think it might not be there in 6 years, the best way to get around that is with images, though there could be licensing issues.
The biggest issue is licensing. If a font is not licensed for use on the web, there could be trouble. By using an online type service, like Linotype or Typekit, you avoid that difficulty. Linotype (fonts.com) will also be happy to license the download, locally-useful version of the font, as well. I have not actually investigated their fees (lowest plan is free..2,000 fonts; next plan is $10/month...7,000 fonts), though I buy fonts (downloaded...I recall about $16-24 per face) from them frequently. Linotype has been around since 1886, when Ottmar Mergenthaler first cast a line of type in lead. http://www.linotype.com/48/aboutlinotype.html, but as Monotype Imaging has a very strong presence as a purveyor of digital fonts.
Fonts.com has a very good how-to video, essentially similar information and procedure as Typekit uses.
The other issue here is the lifespan of a website. How long from initial design to re-design? Where does 6 years fall in that spectrum?
Regarding @fontface, I don't see any kind of online fonts there...just fonts you can buy and download. So much for being consistent across the web.
Not trying to talk your ear (eye?) off here, just a commentary to take into account.

  • ClearType makes fonts in Dreamweaver code view hard to read

    I'm using Dreamweaver 8.0.2 with Windows Vista Business. As
    you know, Vista has a feature called "ClearType," which is supposed
    to help smooth out the on-screen fonts. It normally does do this,
    but for some reason, in Dreamweaver code view, some of the edges of
    fonts are cut off, making it very difficult to read at times. See
    pic here:
    http://www.klife.com/fontscutoff.jpg
    I've tried changing the display fonts within Dreamweaver
    (from Courier New to Arial, etc.), but it doesn't help. Actually,
    Arial is worse. But here's what fixes it: turning off ClearType. I
    haven't noticed ClearType messing any fonts up in programs except
    for Dreamweaver. Why is DW doing this and is there anything I can
    do to get ClearType to work with it?

    You might want to try Clear Type Tuner. It is a Microsoft
    tool to let you
    adjust your clear type settings to your liking. It was
    written for XP. I'm
    not sure if they have a Vista version out yet, but the XP
    version might
    work.

    Here is an online version, which I have not tried.

  • Adding MP3 in Dreamweaver CS3

    Hi,
    I am new to this forum but I really need some help.
    I am trying to link some mp3s onto my website using Dreamweaver CS3. I have tried two options:
    Using a Flash button
    For example: <a href="../music/track.mp3">Services</a>
    Both instances do play the mp3 but they both open in a new window. They both open Windows Media Player.
    Is there anyway I can press the play button without opening a new windows? I just want to be able to stop, play, pause, etc. just from that button.
    Didn't consider embedding the files because I'll have a number of them a page.
    Any help?

    Thanks a million.

  • Fonts in Dreamweaver CS6

    Hi! I'm having problems with using the Myriad Pro font in Dreamweaver CS6. Although the font is in the list of fonts, the selection becomes green in css and when previewing it in a browser, it transforms into the second choise, which is Arial. Is Myrad Pro not possible to use, or is it something I have to do in order for it to work? Since I can select the font in Dreamweaver, it's a bit strange if it doesn't work?

    If the computer you use to view the site does not have the font installed, it will go to the next font in the list until it finds one it has.
    In order to use a font that is not on a viewer's computer, you will need to use the @font-face rule in your css and link to uploaded font files (minimum of two to cover all browsers)...

  • Why do I lose the quality of my fonts in dreamweaver after slicing in photoshop ?

    why do I lose the quality of my fonts in dreamweaver after slicing in photoshop and saving it for web with the highest quality ?  Itried everything from different font to highest resolution.

    Resolution means nothing on the web.  Most browsers render images at 72 dpi (slightly higher on some mobile devices).
    What matters on the web is the number of pixels contained in the image (i.e. 500px wide x 325px high) and the file type used to save it (PNG, JPG or GIF).

  • Adding Edge Web Fonts to DreamWeaver

    I added this question to the forum about 24 hours ago and I haven't had any response yet. If anyone could possibly help me in the next few hours I would be so grateful because I have allocated this week to learning the basics of DreamWeaver and so far I have spent 10.5 hours trying to change the font of a single word!
    I am following the Getting Started tutorials which link from CS4 although they are actually written for CS6. On the third tutorial I am trying to follow item number 4 and pasting an edge web fonts family into the sample site. No matter where I try to paste it (and believe me, I have pasted it in a LOT of different places) either nothing changes at all on the browser view, or all the text on the page changes to comic sans. It is supposed to be just the title word, 'Check', changing to Sarina. Could anyone possibly post a screen shot showing exactly where I should be pasting this code?
    Many thanks
    Joanne

    Joanne, firstly, Dreamweaver will probably never show the font.
    I am not familiar with the tutorial you are following, but the way to insert a particular typeface into a website is usually done the same way Google tells you to on their webfonts page.
    To embed a font into your web page, insert a link to the font as the first element in the <head> of your HTML document.
    For example, if you are using Google's Stalinist font, you would put the following in the <head> section of your web page (before the <body> and before you link to your style sheet:
    <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Stalinist+One' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    Next you would add the font into your style sheet in CSS:
    font-family: 'Stalinist One', cursive;
    So, if you wanted to use Stalinist for your <h1> elements, you would do the following to define these header tags:
    h1 {
    font-size: 3em;
    font-family: 'Stalinist One', cursive;
    Now, in your HTML page, in the body, anything you gave the h1 tag to would show up as Stalinist—but only in a web browser with access to the Google page and not in Dreamweaver.

  • Adobe Muse (2014.3) "Add Web Font" Function Not Working As Expected - Newly Added Fonts Become Unavailable Though Shown

    Hello.
    This has also been posted in the Community: Adobe Muse Bugs forum.
    I've been having some odd/irregular issues though they have now become fairly predictable in nature. The issue is in regards to Adobe Muse (2014.3) and the availability of web fonts provided through the applications "Add Web Fonts" feature. Once added they perform as expected but then become "unavailable." Full details below. I have been a Creative Cloud Complete subscriber for a number of years so am fairly familiar with the way in which the system works minus a few issues that have popped up now and then, this one included.
    System Info:
    Adobe Creative Cloud (Full Subscription): Version 1.9.1.474
    Adobe Muse: Version 2014.3
    OS X Yosemite: 10.10.2
    Here is a recap of what has been taking place. I'll detail the bug as best I can.
    1. Created new Adobe Muse project. Everything normal.
    2. Chose to add a new font through the "Add Web Fonts" function within Muse. A note, my Creative Cloud App is running/open at all times (in file synch mode).
    3. Chose new fonts using above. All seemed fine (see screenshots below).
    4. Fonts also were indicated as being "Synched" within Creative Cloud (screenshot below).
    5. As expected the two fonts were added to the list of available Web Fonts within Muse (first screenshot below - left). I added them successfully to my site. Well after a number of hours I went back to this same font selection menu within Muse and the fonts were still visible yet the sub-menu that one would expect showing various forms (i.e. Bold, Italic, etc) was not available. In a sense the font could not be chosen from the list even though the name is clearly visible (second screenshot below - right).
    Have no idea what may have been wrong. Saved Muse project, closed and reopened - nothing changed. Created new project - fonts still "shown" in menu but can't be used. Did find a vague description using Google of similar problem (different application) which recommended closing Creative Cloud Desktop App and reopening as one possible solution. This DID WORK initially yet the problem, though corrected for a period of time (few hours at most), would reappear again where one would again see yet not be able to choose from the two Web Fonts. Went so far as to uninstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop application and reinstalling. Still have not solved the problem.
    Any thoughts as to what this may be would be welcome. Restarting the CC app each and every time the fonts become unavailable is quite time consuming to my workflow.
    Thanks!

    Abhishek,
    Thank you for the reply. Wanted to comment on a few things.
    I reviewed the other post that you've referenced. Nothing unusual jumped out at me as something that I was not aware of. I'm running an older iMac that is in good working condition. 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 24" screen. I know this issue is fleeting, as I stated earlier typically can be corrected with a restart of the CC Desktop application (that I am always running at startup). I have not been able to determine that shutting down Muse corrects the issue. I would, at this time say it doesn't.
    I did open InDesign and see if the fonts in question, Open Sans and Open Sans Condensed, were present and usable. They were. The fonts are shown as being synched in my CC Desktop app window (even if they are not "installed" in Muse). That is expected but it may be a bug in how Muse brings in a font from those that are already synched to your CC account. I don't know enough about how that works to comment.
    And just to complicate matters, Muse seems to be working again, the fonts that is. I brought them back in and they are showing up in all locations (which there are actually three - see screen shots).
    First is primary text menu dropdown (to right of orange "Text").
    Second is if you click orange Text link. Another drop down menu appears.
    And lastly, the Text Panel to right of screen.
    I also wanted to add this extra bit of information, for what it is worth. When the issue arises and you do not get the sub-menu dropdown showing various styles of the font (italics, bold, etc.), one can use click on the missing font if you had used it previously and it is present in the "previously used font" list.
    Cheers!

  • How can I use an Open Type Font in Dreamweaver?

    I bought some OTFs, Open Type Fonts.  I want to use them in Dreamweaver. I am on a Windows machine. When I look at the Edit Font List section in Dreamweaver, it has a tiny selection of fonts. I know I have more on my computer.
    How would I add these fonts for use in Dreamweaver ?   I have already installed them on my system.

    <I don't understand the whole world of font-licensing, so I thought I would be safe by using these fonts which I have purchased with a commercial license.>
    That doesn't mean the license extends to digital & web media though. 
    The fonts licensed by Kindle and included in the Fire are:
    Georgia
    Caecilia
    Trebuchet
    Verdana
    Arial
    Times New Roman
    Courier
    Lucida (of which there are several and the one in Kindle appears to be Sans Unicode)
    The new Kindle Paperwhite offers users the option to select:
    Caecilia
    Caecilia Condensed
    Baskerville
    Futura
    Helvetica
    Palantino
    Older Kindles and the Kindle DX uses Caecilia only. The Kindle computer and mobile apps display the same as the Fire.
    The prevailing opinion is that eBooks should not force fonts on people.  Let the user decide which body fonts are best for viewing on their particular device.

    Hi,
    Go to Character formate in your form.
    create a new char formate with enable BAR code AND
    you can give its type too.
    To Create a Bar code prefix:
    1) Go to T-code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
    2) Now when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix
    Create a character format C1.Assign a barcode to the character format.Check the check box for the barcode.
    The place where you are using the field value use like this
    <C1> &itab-field& </C1>.
    You will get the field value in the form of barcode.
    Which barcode printer are you using ? Can you download this file and see.

    Detailed information about SAP Barcodes
    A barcode solution consists of the following:
    a barcode printer
    a barcode reader
    a mobile data collection application/program
    A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number
    in machine readable format.
    There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support and which SAP support natively in it's printing protocols.
    You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.
    Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.
    Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.

    Any idea how to solve this, so myriad pro will be visible at any windows os
    No font is ever visible on any machine unless it has been installed on that machine, and Myriad Pro does not come with Windows. So unless someone has bought Myriad Pro or bought Adobe apps that come with it, they cannot display it. You need to turn your text into a graphic or pdf for everyone to see that font. The best place to ask about how to do things with Dreamweaver is probably the Adobe forums:

  • Adding Fonts Where?

    Temporarily remove the fonts you added. You can add them back gradually to find the bad ones. Also clean your font caches with FontFinagler (use google to find it).
