Can Custom skin download font if not installed?

Hi
I have an ADF BC application written in JDev 10.1.3. It uses a customer skin so our various customers can implement their own look and feel. One of our customers requested the Futura font which worked fine on my PC because I have the futura font installed but when I deployed it to the custoemr the skin reverted to a different font because Futura was not installed on their PC.
Is it possible to have an ADF page download a font if it cannot find it installed?
I found this html code which is supposed to achieve that
<STYLE TYPE="text-css">
@font-face (
font-family:familyName;
font-style:normal;
font-weight:normal;
src:url("someFont.eot") )
</STYLE>
Is it possible to integrate the above code into an ADF page?
thanks
paul

Hi
Thanks for the replies.
I read the link that Frank posted and read a little bit around the subject of web fonts. It seems that this feature is not widely supported by browsers and indeed I am using FF2 and could not get John's suggestion to work. Our customer uses primarily IE and FF and it seems that this feature is not currently supported by either of those browsers. IE only allows use of the EOT font format and FF3.5 supports web fonts but is still in beta.
It doesn't look like we are going to be able to implement this feature for our customer so I might have to ask them to select a [web safe font|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_safe_fonts]
thanks
paul

  • Adobe Download Assistant will not install.

    I'm attempting to install the trial version of Design Premium CS5.5, but the Adobe Download Assistant will not install. It appears to be installing after I click on the installer--a window loads that says "Installing"--but then nothing happens. Nothing loads. Nothing shows up in the Applications folder. After trying this many, many times (with different browsers and after many refreshes and computer restarts), I'd sometimes get an error message that I need Adobe Air. When I try to install Adobe Air, I have the same issue: nothing happens. What can I do? I am using a brand new MacBook Pro.

    I had a very very similar issue on my MacBook Pro as well with ADA. Solved it about 30 minutes ago. I found a post from late December that suggested trying the following:
    System Preferences
    Energy Saver
    Uncheck "Automatic Graphic Switching" at the top of the page.
    Install Adobe Air
    Profit.
    Hope it works for you too, I was ready to throw this box out the window.

  • Launching MS Office for Mac 2011: "Font is not Installed" errors

    Message Microsoft (MSOffice).app wants to use the font "xxx". This font is not installed. Allow Microsoft(whatever).app to use this font? show in finder, don't allow, allow. happens with all Office apps, runs through entire font library.
    about 3 months ago this started - not sure what I did to kick it off, but now whenever I try to use a Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 app it runs through the series of fonts and asks me to do something. I can go through one at a time and select 'don't ask me again' and 'allow' or 'don't allow' but I'd rather figure out (and solve) the problem. Any ideas?

  • Why are my fonts are not installing in ox6 it shows as exec?

    Why are my fonts are not installing in ox6 it shows as exec?

    Are you referring to an icon that looks like a monitor and has the word exec in green on it? If so, that's OS X's way of saying "I have no idea what this file is".
    I'm guessing you're trying to use an incompete Type 1 PostScript font. Type 1 PostScript fonts are a set. One file is a suitcase containing all of the low res bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts. As an example, here's Adobe Garamond.
    Adobe Garamond
    AGarBol
    AGarBolIta
    AGarIta
    AGarReg
    AGarSem
    AGarSemIta
    The first file which I highlighted in green is the font suitcase of bitmap screen fonts. The rest are the outline printer fonts.
    1) The files for a Type 1 PostScript font must have both the screen and printer fonts for a given set in order to work. They also must be in the same folder.
    2) The suitcase of bitmap fonts will work alone, but output will be terrible since the system will print the fonts using the 72 dpi screen fonts in the suitcase if the outline portions are missing.
    3) Having only the outline fonts will not work. You can see the fonts, but they will not load. That's not a problem with Font Book, Suitcase or other font manager. None of them, nor the system itself will load outline fonts from a Type 1 PostScript font without the matching suitcase of screen fonts present.

  • Iweb says font in not installed.

    I have a serious problem with iWeb. One of the sites I have made (and which runs for a few years now) uses the Skia font which is installed on my OSX 10.6.8 system. I use it often in all kinds of documents. Today I want to update a few pages in that website, I open up iWeb and get the msg that the Skia regular font is not installed. But it is; like it has always been. No problems in Pages, in Photoshop etc. I turned it on and off in the Fontmanager (not sure if it is called that way in the english version, but I mean the standard fonttool in OSX). The only thing I can think off is that in cleaning my fontlibraries (which I did some time ago) I have thrown away another (double) version of the Skia font and iWeb wants that other version.
    I can manually update all the text fields on all of the 50 (or so) pages, but I don't know what fields are in Skia and what in some other font, which means the risk that I mess up the whole site.
    Is there a way to solve this problem; some programs give the option to choose an alternative font when a used type is not installed, but I can't find an option like that in iWeb.
    Who can help me ?

    Try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    Click to view full size
    launch iWeb and try again.
    You do know that Skia is not one of the Web Safe Fonts and will look different on computers that do not have that font installed, particularly PCs, right?.  It could change the look of the entire page.

  • Adobe premier elements 11 downloaded but will not install

    adobe premier elements 11 downloaded but will not install?

    Hunt
    What you just wrote may have revealed the Photoshop Elements Premiere Elements integration consideration. If you have Premiere Elements 11, you need Photoshop Elements 11 for the integration between the programs to produce the DVD version of the Photoshop Elements Slideshow.
    All along I was picturing Meyerswalter already in Premiere Elements 11/Publish+Share/Disc/DVD and being told to install Premiere Elements to get the burn to disc accomplished.
    But, if Meyerswalter is using Premiere Elements 11 and a non integrated version of Photoshop Elements for this matter, that could very well fit.
    So, Meyeswalter, so that we can dispel those thoughts
    a. What versions of Photoshop Elements are you using with Premiere Elements 11? And, are you in the Photoshop Elements Slideslide Show Editor using the Output of Burn to Disc DVD or Edit with Premiere Elements Editor and getting the load software message somewhere along the line?
    b. To prove this point, if you have not already, what happens if you take Photoshop Elements out of the equation. Import some media into Premiere Elements 11 and try to burn to disc from there Publish+Share/Disc/DVD?
    If that is the core of the issue, I will post a list of Photoshop Elements Premiere Elements integrated combos as a guideline for you.
    If this is the core of the issue, you could always keep the non Photoshop Elements 11 version that you have, output the slideshow to a wmv file sized for DVD and then import that into Premiere Elements 11 via its Add Media. More on that later if necessary since right now I am speculating on an explanation for what you are encountering.
    Thanks.

  • Windows 10 downloads but does not install...

    windows 10 downloads but does not install on my  Stream 13-c010nr (OS 8.1). Says I need 5 GB more before it can install. Should I factory reset? Any suggestions?

    If you can run the recovery, it should free up enough space although in this thread, it did not.  It might also help to download the Windows 10 ISO file and run it from a USB.  You do not have to run any updates to Windows 8.1 if you do that, you can upgrade right after restoring to the factory configuration.

    How can I change the font in notes in the view in mail?

    Use the Fonts menu. Either -
    • go to the Format menu and select Show Fonts
    • or, in the Note creation window, click the icon for Fonts -
    In either case, once the Fonts window is open, select the text you want to change then choose the font characteristics (face, style, and size) from the Fonts screen.

  • How can i change the fonts in notes in ios7

    how can i change the fonts in notes in ios7

    Well as far as I am concern Meg can keep it.  I am glad she like these really ridiculous colors and not be able to make changes.  Especially when the changes were so major. Plus all of apples wonderful locations to find answers besides community boards.  I am starting to rethink apple products with these type of releases. Who ever heard of yellow colors for e-mail addresses.  This app is terrible I will be looking for something that is easier for people that have color blindness issues. So far as I can see the changes that IOS 7 made are not well thought out and made changes just because they could without options is refi lupus and not user friendly.  Enjoy Meg because so far I don't.
