I’m going to defend this article by sayign The fonts mentioned in it are outlined because they work within ANY browser without the need for CSS font importing via css, etc

Beginners need the basics and that’s exactly whats been outlined here.

Article is weirdly outdated, here is simple css script to load custom font into user’s cache:

@font-face
{
font-family: font_name;
src: url(’font_name.eot’);
src: local(my_font), url(’font_name.ttf’) format(’opentype’);
}

Font in .eot format is for IE, ttf is for rest browsers. You can convert any font to those formats by online converters. Use google: “.yourfonttype convert to .eot” or “.yourfonttype convert to .ttf”. After doing that and putting correct URLs in css You can use those fonts like any other, just use:

font-family: font_name;

Because of its nature trebuchet font can be a little-read but it is important that he chooses beautiful wallpaper. What do you think you, is it still best to use Arial for the text site? Thanks for the post
