Hey guys,
I was just wandering if there is any way that you can use a font that you have on your PC on the internet without having to use images.

So i would be able to do this in the css:

blah { font-family: 'my own font'; }

thanks.

EDIT: I have found this tutorial but it seems to be quite complicated, is there an easier way?
If not I will have to use this tutorial.

Thanks again.

Yes, there's a way, do a Google search for sIFR, it uses a bit of flash, but is accessible.

Look it up anyway. There are several sources for sIFR fonts that are already made for anyone who wants to use them. Bottom line.. you don't HAVE to have Flash, you just need the swf font files and they can be found FREE.

ok, ive got the font I need and i followed a tutorial on how to set it up but it didnt work.

EDIT: I used a different method, the PHP image replacement method, it works but it didnt lookas good as I was hoping so I will just leave it.
