Load a font on startup?

[PS1983]

Hey !
another question=)!

is it possible to install a font on a pc with javaScript, when a page opens?

for example i need the ttf called Trebuchet MS, is there a script to make it able?

plz help

thx

dont need to use script you can <embed> the font in your page, however this does increase the file size of your page quite a bit

 

[PS1983]

well that wouldn't really matter
by now the size of the page is 18 MB !!!!!
so one MB more or less won't matter that much =)


<embed src=&quot;any.ttf&quot;> in the body would do it?
thx

hi!,
first: i converted all 150 pics from gif to jpg now the size is 5 MB jeah!

2nd: i think the

<embed src=&quot;trebuc.ttf=&quot;true&quot; autostart=&quot;true&quot; />

doesn't work, yet i will have a look around and tell u my results @vituz and the rest who cares =)

Why did you write

<embed src=&quot;trebuc.ttf=&quot;true&quot; autostart=&quot;true&quot; />

? the part: src=&quot;trebuc.ttf=&quot;true&quot; sound a bit akward? or have I missed something... i would have written it like this: <embed src=&quot;trebuc.ttf&quot; autostart=&quot;true&quot;> (but again, that is what I would have done, could be wrong... been that before)

Another thing, pornstar1983, are those 18 megs loaded in one page? Like all images viewable from(or downloaded from the) in .html file? Try splitting it into severla, might increse No. of visitors... I for sure Would never visit a site that downloads 18megs at once... and I'm on a 10mb lan!! My codes look like something a kid wrote
I have absolutely no idea what I am talking about
Somehow I still manage to make it work

=)
forget about the font; thats nonsense anyway i'll choose a standard installed one that looks similar!

and the 18MB ; well now size is like 7 MB, bit better =)

starting with this page i had all 18 MB loaded in one page, but now i have an image preloader for every page and thats ok, no long waiting times!

i'll post the link in a few hours, i'll fix the last bugs until then;

but thx for your comments, you are right i' wouldn't like to load a 18 MB site=) either!

so stay tuned!
