How to put a font into a website?
Ok, I'm making a website(my project for my web publishing class), and I published it so some people can look at it and give me some feedbacks, and such. I used Geocities by the way, and Dreamweaver 8.Anyway, my problem is that I want the site to have the font Deathnote(http://main.deathgod.org/download/) , all over it. I installed the said font in my laptop, so when I view the site the fonts are all Death note fonts. And now I tried viewing it using another computer(it doesnt have the deathnote font installed in it), and the site only shows the normal fonts. Can anyone tell me how to make the site have the font deathnote not the normal fonts. Thanks in advance for the help.

- If it's not a native font on the viewers computer, the font must be embedded. See http://www.webmonkey.com/design/fonts/tutorials/tutorial2.html
- You can use a technology called sifr to have that font show up as text - http://www.mikeindustries.com/sifr It's not very hard to install. You must have Flash to edit one of the files though. The other option is to create the text that is in that font as images, and using css you can assign those images as backgrounds to those words and hide the words with a large negative text-indent value, like -9000px.
- Using Photoshop, you create your text using your selected font and then save the text as a .gif. Then paste the .gif into an appropriate table-sized position. Good luck!
