Use embedded fonts in Web pages

The presentation of a Web page varies according to the individual computer, and the most striking point is the expression of the font. Different computers use different operating systems, browsers, and different fonts are installed. Web designers cannot predict what fonts are installed in the viewer's computing body, which means it is impossible to know if the design requires fonts to exist on the browser's computer. If it does not exist, the content involved in the font cannot be rendered correctly on the browser's computer.

There are several common ways to troubleshoot font rendering problems:

Use a picture, directly in a place that might be applied to a particular font, instead of a picture with a final effect. The advantage of this method is that it is simple to implement and stable in effect. The disadvantage is that the dynamic content is very poor adaptability, not easy to change, can not be reversed. This is the most used method, because the special fonts are mostly used in a number of decorative titles above, these decorative words are mostly static.

The use of flash, that is, the use of flash built in the embedded font mechanism to assist implementation. The method is mostly combined with complex applications, and a single font is a bit overqualified. This method is not as simple as the one mentioned earlier, but it has a strong adaptability to change content.

Use Web page embedding fonts (Web Embed font), which is the method that this article will introduce. This method is most natural. Realized, only in the first time a little trouble, but for a web designer unfamiliar with Flash, but also a lot simpler than the second. After the first use, the cost of RE application is even smaller than the first method.

It is important to note that the method of embedding fonts can only be implemented on Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers. For other browser solutions, please refer to other articles separately.
