CSS - Custom fonts
is it possible to use css to display a font not pre installed on all computers?
e.g on my site i am using a font called Bitsumishi, i downloaded this from the net and know that not everyone who visits my site will have this font. So, i am creating images and using this font and saving them
what i want to know is, is it possible to use css to make this font display, and if so how what directory do i upload the font to so that the browser can import it onto the page
if anyone can understand this then it would be a great help.
cheers

Nope. Can't force fonts on users.
You might look at dynamically creating images using something like PHP's GD if you have a lot of images to show.
Flash might also work similarly, I think.

You can use fonts outside of SVG and Flash that users don't have on their computers, but the technology was a little iffy at best and it's not been in common use. In general, it's better practise to not do it, anyway, as users will set their settings for their own preferences and over-riding those preferences isn't particularly nice.
