Hi,

title of this made no sense, i know but hopefully you will get what i need to know, from this...

i have some fonts, like .ttf files and i want to use one for some text on a webpage, what css do i need to use to tell it to use that?

like in css or something.

Thanks for you help, im googling it but cant find what i want thanks everyone i know someone will know.

You cannot do that on pure CSS .
It's in w3c recommendations, but no browser integrate support for this.
It's a specific css2 attribute, called font-face that control that.

But, as you can see from this chart, support for it is pretty bad...

(complete charts here: http://www.westciv.com/style_master/...ort/index.html)

But, on the other hand, I've found explanation on how to enable it on IE.

And another interesting article, about alternatives:

Note that http://www.alistapart.com is worth browsing if you want to learn about CSS, and design / web dev tips.

The best option I know of is sIFR http://www.mikeindustries.com/sifr/

I have to second REpublikan's advice, SIFR is the way to go if you want to use non-standard fonts.

u know i really honestly though it would be something like

.somin
{
font: url('fonts/font.ttf');
}

Wouldnt that be easier? WHY!?!?

Read through those links that Trippy put up. You will see that there is something akin to that in the W3C recommendations however, there is very poor browser support for it.
