Jill,
I use
Microsoft WEFT to embed fonts. I have had complaints that it does not run
on non-Windows platforms but then Bitstream does not either. The problem
with Bitstream is that it requires an active-x control to be installed and many
people will not do that. WEFT is also free.
For
example I use the Papyrus font for some of my Web pages. When I build the
WEFT file I create a dummy page with all the characters that I might use so that
I do not have to update the file when I make changes to the web pages.
Then I embed in each page:
<!-- /* $WEFT -- Created by: Carl W. Brown ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) on 2/17/2002 -- */
@font-face {
font-family: Papyrus;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
src: url(PAPYRUS3.eot);
}
-->
Carl

Aaargh! No it doesn't!!!! PLEASE stop filling this thread with stuff which does not address the original question. I am interested in WEB PAGES. Nothing else. Not Acrobat Files. Not Word files. Nothing. JUST WEB PAGES. If you can't do it on a bog standard HTML page, it's not answering the question.
Frustrated with all these unrelated side-issues, I decided to try Google instead. (Google often gives better answers about things than specialist lists!). I found a really good demo of exactly what I was after at "http://www.truedoc.com/webpages/intro/". Of course, I still don't know if this is state-of-the-art, or whether something better has turned up since then.
If anyone has any further information about how to embed fonts in HTML files, please let me know.
Thanks
