hi all, i am currently working on a website which i have fonts that are only installed on my computer. Client computers accessing the website which does not have the fonts installed on their computer will not be able to display the font..how can i install the fonts required onto their computer during the initial loading of the website?

You can't without using some 3rd party installer program that the user would need to give permission to download and run. Much easier to just use the available fonts!

Hi mufc_1989

NC is right,

And I would like to suggest you try to check the following thread, which talks about the same issue:

install fonts on client side

Thanks.

Web browsers do not have explicit access to install things on a user's computer(or at the very least they shouldn't). You really have four options:

1. Use a standard, web-safe font.

2. Use graphics in place of text. This isn't a good idea if you plan on using the font in areas other than headers/titles/etc.

3. I recently stumbled on this javascript library that seems pretty cool, and will allow you to use any font you want on a webpage. However, the user would need to have javascript enabled in order for it to work.

4. Use a flash movie to display text in the font of your choice, though I think that would be rather excessive.
