Unique Font in Dreamweaver

How do i embed a font into a website. I have used photoshop and saved everything as an impage, but I'd like to be able to use the text in dreamweaver.

thank you

As Mark said, check your font license very carefully. Fonts are protected by intellectual property laws in much the same way that software is protected from unlawful copying, modifying or distributing. Just because you can use a font in Photoshop doesn't mean the license extends to embedding it on web pages with @font-face.
CUSTOM WEB FONT SOURCES:
Adobe TypeKit - https://typekit.com/
They host thousands of web fonts on their secure servers for your web pages to access. But you need a license to use their service. If your site gets much traffic or you want to use more than a few fonts per site, you'll need to pay a modest subscription fee (approx $4/month).
Google Web Fonts - http://www.google.com/webfonts#ChoosePlace:select
Google Fonts are free and conveniently hosted on Google's servers. However, some of Google's fonts aren't available in all flavors: TTF, EOT, OTF, SVG & WOFF. Preview your Google fonts in all browsers/web devices before you use it.
Cufon -- http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/
Some Cufon scripts are not compatible with IE. If you're experiencing difficulties, you'll want to ensure that you are using the very latest yui.js script. As of this writing, it is version 1.09i - http://cufon.shoqolate.com/js/cufon-yui.js?v=1.09i
Fontex - http://www.fontex.org/

I have uninstalled/reinstalled many times to no avail. There are no other problems with w/ other CS4 programs, they all have the normal system font. I can't figure it out. Thanks!

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.

Unique Font Size in R12 Generated PDF Report

Hi all,
Recently we upgraded from 11i to R12 and got an issue of unique font size in PDF report. As stated in metalink 859780.1, at the very beginning we got Symbol font in PDF. Although they're non-readable, I still can see various font size in the PDF report, e.g. smaller font in the remark region and larger font in title. However, after following the above note to change it back to use Courier font, although I can see normal font now, all fonts in the PDF has only one size and which is much bigger than that in 11i. So most of the text can't fit in the border. Subsequently I tried to update several files including uiprint.txt, uifont.ali, datap462.ppd and using different combination (both pdf subsetting and non-subsetting), I still can't fix the issue. Then I also tried to set IX_PRINTING to use pasta, however, I hit another issue (can't font file specified in pasta.cfg). But since I haven't utilized pasta in 11i neither, I'll try to stick to the approach of using native PDF instead of using pasta. Is it an known issue of the Oracle Report 10g? Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ricardo

Ricardo,
Have you bounced the CM after implementing the new changes?
Thanks,

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).

Help: Can I create unique content in Dreamweaver and host it on Adobe?

I have been told that I cannot do this and I am asking for verification.
I am a CC subscriber so I have five Adobe hostings available.
What I want to know:
Is it correct that when I purchased the CC subscription and Dreamweaver with five site hostings, I cannot use Dreamweaver to create unique content and host it on the five hostings?
Why would Adobe sell Dreamweaver with all it’s capabilities and not support using it on the hostings that are sold as part of the package?
What I want to do:
Create very simple, unique content in Dreamweave. No commerce, just pages.
Publish it (test site is OK) to one of my available Adobe hostings.
Have it look just like I created it without any Business Catalysts templates or content.
What I have been told:
My five Adobe hostings are in Business Catalyst
I have to use Business Catalyst templates or my web site will not work
I cannot create unique content in Dreamweaver and use my Adobe hostings to post content entirely of my own design. I must conform to Business Catalyst.
What I have experienced:
I can create my content in Dreamweaver.
When I try to create a new Business Catalyst site in Dreamweaver using my content, Dreamweaver wants to download the lorem ipsum prefabricated placeholder content and overwrite my work.
I can mitigate this by unchecking a box but it won’t allow me to use my content.
When I push up (put) my content, it appears to transfer up
After a few seconds, the files on the server are zroed out (zero byte size).
My content is not on the web server.
What I have not tried but will do next:
Create a New Business Catalyst Test site in Dreamweaver.
Allow Dreamweaver to download the site content.
Strip out all of the prefabricated junk.
Build my content.
Push (put) it up.
See if it works.
This is a pain.

Hey there, Please see my replies to you in another colour below:
I have been told that I cannot do this and I am asking for verification.
Adobe - No, Business catalyst - yes. Adobe is not Business Catalyst, Bussiness Catalyst is owned by Adobe and is a website CMS sollution and hosting for that.
I am a CC subscriber so I have five Adobe hostings available.
Business Catalyst WEB BASIC sites
What I want to know:
Is it correct that when I purchased the CC subscription and Dreamweaver with five site hostings, I cannot use Dreamweaver to create unique content and host it on the five hostings?
No of course you can, You build your site as you want and upload to BC. You just need to note that the sites will be only the web basic plan so limited features.
Why would Adobe sell Dreamweaver with all it’s capabilities and not support using it on the hostings that are sold as part of the package?
Dreamweaver has full integration with Business Catalyst - You have been told incorectly.
What I want to do:
Create very simple, unique content in Dreamweave. No commerce, just pages.
Totally fine
Publish it (test site is OK) to one of my available Adobe hostings.
Get out of your head "Adobe hosting" it is Adobe business catalyst
Have it look just like I created it without any Business Catalysts templates or content.
If you have raw static html and css files etc in pages - this will work. This is the wrong way to build a site but you can do so if you want to.
What I have been told:
My five Adobe hostings are in Business Catalyst
Yes that is correct
I have to use Business Catalyst templates or my web site will not work
Not true. Now there are templates you can use to build your sites. The other "template" term you will here are the templates you use in your site builds, pages and other elements use - Layout control - change once, update many.
I cannot create unique content in Dreamweaver and use my Adobe hostings to post content entirely of my own design. I must conform to Business Catalyst.
The concept of creating content in Dreamweaver is not correct. You should be desining your site and then build it in Dreamweaver and then you manage the content using Business Catalyst.
What I have experienced:
I can create my content in Dreamweaver.
You can but you shouldnt, you should build the site elements in DW.
When I try to create a new Business Catalyst site in Dreamweaver using my content, Dreamweaver wants to download the lorem ipsum prefabricated placeholder content and overwrite my work.
I do not use DW to build my BC sites so not sure what is happening there. It shouldnt, sounds like your syncing not uploading files.
I can mitigate this by unchecking a box but it won’t allow me to use my content.
To remove the cross syncing for the web basic creative cloud sites for people in muse there is an option in Site settings you need to tick, I am guessing you need to do this too.
After a few seconds, the files on the server are zroed out (zero byte size).
You will need to contact Business Catlayst support on this one

Adding a unique font to Swing?

Hey, I have this unique font and I was wondering how you can add it to the program and have it work
on any computer. like label.setFont(new Font("My unique font", 24)); and have the font's .tff file
in the folder with it. Is this possible? Sorry if I'm bad at describing :P

Here's a direct quote from the API documentation for java.awt.Font:
Applications that require specific fonts can bundle them and instantiate them using the createFont method. I'm sure the docs contain more detail about that, so reading them would be a good approach.

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.

Myriad Pro font with Dreamweaver 8

Hello !
Im making a web site, all the text are in myriad pro font...It looks realy nice in web browser on mac, but not on widows machines because there is no font like myriad pro, and for default it uses arial font.
Is any chance to join html with myriad font...I tried with css but no luck, my css was generated autamaticly in html code as you can see here:
http://www.shrani.si/f/h/13U/1qJvLS4y/picture-10.png
Any idea how to solve this, so myriad pro will be visible at any windows os

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:

Designing with web fonts | Learn Dreamweaver CS6 | Adobe TV

Web fonts have become an important part of many web designers' workflows. Dreamweaver CS6 adds support for web fonts through the new Web Fonts Manager. See how to use the Web Fonts Manager to add, manage, and apply web fonts throughout your sites.
http://adobe.ly/IUFnwR

I've been wondering for ages why DW doesn't just show my web fonts in Design View, and now I'm none the wiser. Why doesn't Design View look at your fonts (not your system fonts, your folder fonts) and display them?
With Font Squirrel you don't even need to / or shouldn't even need to go through that rather bizarre "global" Web Fonts dialog. DW should just look at your fonts folder and work out it needs to display the fonts.
I'd give this first generation attempt 1/10.

Fonts in Dreamweaver not appearing in Chrome/IE/Safari ?

Hi
I recently downloaded a particular font I liked :
Akzidenz Grotesk Light
Basically, it then appeared successfully in my font list in Dreamweaver.
I applied it successfully to my CSS rule. Looks good right ?
Nope - when I preview this dreamweaver page in Chrome/IE/Safari, this font defaults to Times New Roman ???
Do I require a font license with this font [Akzidenz Grotesk Light] - in order for it to work ??
Is there a workaround - this is very frustrating.....I don't quite understand ?
ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED - very frustrated irishman here
thanks
Brian

Akzidenz Grotesk Light is not a web safe font. And I suspect it is not a file type that is recognized by your browsers.
For best results, use font-families from the Web Safe Font Stack
http://cssfontstack.com/
Or, use embedded Custom Web Fonts from a font distribution network like Google Web Fonts, Adobe TypeKit, or Edge Web Fonts.

Edge Web Fonts in DreamWeaver CS4

Can anyone please confirm whether CS4 can work with Edge Web Fonts? I have followed the DreamWeaver official tutorial, plus two others I found on YouTube, to the letter, but my text still seems to be in Comic Sans, which is not the font I copied. if I just knew it couldn't be done in CS4 I could stop now, as I have already spent 4.5 hours trying to change the font of one word!
Thanks
Joanne

Hi Joanne,
I'm not quite sure if Edge fonts work with CS4, but there is one error source in DW's advice of the "JavaScript tag", it's written without ""http: ...", so please try: <script src="http://use.edgefonts.net/source-sans-pro; ...".
Good luck!

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.

Edwardian Script ITC as font in Dreamweaver CC

Hi there. I wanted to know if there is a way I can use the font "Edwardian Script ITC" when making my site in Dreamweaver CC. Thanks for your help.

Hello,
no resignation please, here we all are beginners somehow or other. What I can do is to show the options, to get DW's fonts, step by step (and sorry, always translated from my German DW).
When I want to use another font "IN" my DW, I can "modify" > managing fonts > select Adobe Edge Web Fonts OR local Webfonts OR fonts "of my own". And now see my different screenshots:
Maybe this could help you.
