@font-face

Basically, "@" imports an external file so u could use this statement for importing stylesheets such as:

Code:

So ur basically loading the font of your choice onto the users computer so they can view your website with the specified font :)

Not all browsers support @font-face tho so i would use it as a future-proof method but would still use image-replacement techniques aswell, i’d suggest image-replacement as sIFR is hefty to load up. There are however pros and cons. If you use sIFR then if flashplayer isn’t enabled the user will still see the correct font if @font-face is used, it just wont render nicely.
