As far as I'm aware, fonts are saved client-side, meaning you cannot use a font on your website unless the person viewing it also has that same font installed.

Think - when you're writing html, you write <font face="xxx">your text here</font> - so when the web server sends that out to clients, it is sending text, not a picture of what the letters look like.

You could try any of the following -

* Stick to using regular fonts
* Turn your text into an image of the same text written in your font and send it that way
* Offer a link to the .ttf file on your website, so users can download the font themselves and view a special version of your site using that specific font

Hope this helps,
