Server-based fonts?

Post by cbdebris »

Anyone using server-based fonts? How did you get Flare to work with them?

Yes, use @font-face in your stylesheet.

See: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr ... e_rule.asp

You'll need the font in TTF and EOT formats.

It doesn't seem to work in Flare's editor though, but it is ok in the output.

We are using Google Fonts. Sort of works, sort of doesn't.

Ah, not sure I can help you much there, I'd not even heard of Google Fonts before.

For me, I could only see the fonts on their website using IE9 or Chrome; they didn't work with Firefox (17) and all appeared as times roman, which might be due to a setting, add-on, or a proxy setting.

Anyway, you may not get it working in Flare's editor or preview, but I doubt Flare would do anything that would affect it working in the output; providing you're using the correct CSS and a supported browser.

That's interesting. I was using IE9 to search and collect the fonts we're using. Hmmmm.
