Hey,

I'm designing a website and trying to use a font called "Impact". When I try and use this via CSS tt won't work in the web browser. Dreamweaver recognises it but thats no use :P. I assume this is because its not a standard font?

What are my options? Can I use this font with CSS? i'd rather not use images if I can help it.

Cheers,

Jon
 
It will work for you because the font is installed, people who don't have the font installed will just see Arial or the default Times New Roman.
I have Impact, but not everyone will. I believe it's a font installed with Office or an Adobe application. Either way, it's not standard.

There are plenty of nice standard fonts, Trebuchet MS and Lucida Sans Unicode are gorgeous when used properly.

I prefer standard fonts also. I'm converting a website from crappy code (tables) into css and would like to try and keep it similar hence the need for Impact. :)

I'll have a play, cheers.
