Typefaces within Web Content

Question

I'm guessing the majority of us using DPS are print designers. I'm trying to add a little HTML flavour to my magazine. So I've created some web content that functions like a mag page and in Dreameaver I've created some files that look like the pages in my magazine but behave dynamically. It's all good, my web content overlays work and publish correct on my tablet however becasue my CSS rules contain the local typefaces of the magazine (Benton, Amplitude etc) they do not publish at all. They render in times or something. :(  Dreamweaver is becoming familiar but I am a mear beginner.  So I'm hoping someone who is a little more web savy can tell me how to embed these faces into my HTML file that render correctly once published.  Best regards  YC

Answer 1

dear YC
it is possible add fonts to your HTML with the @font-face CSS rule and into
webfonts converted typefaces.
there is a popular fontface generator by font squirrel.
when using commercial fonts as webfonts on the web you need to check if the
licence of the webfont allows embedding (many from big type foundries need a
special licence)
this licence allows you to publicly embedd fonts on public webpages.
including webfonts in HTML stacks is technically the same for public web.
however, you HTML in the magazine could not be considered as "public" wich
would not necessary require a licence but that has to be checked.
