Now using javascript we can use any font in web page by using techniques such as Typeface and Facelift Image Replacement (or FLIR) or sIFR. sIFR needs flash while others do not. sIFR is for smoothness look of fonts.

Instead of creating images or using flash just to show your site’s graphic text in the font you want, you can use typeface.js and write in plain HTML and CSS and get original smooth font look whatever you specify, even if the user machine have not those fonts. This technique is limited yet with limited fonts support and also it is recommended to use it for title of headings of web page. All the font at the web page using this technique can heavy things up at server and page might load very slow. Even then it is cool. Type face is easy, flexible and open source.

Using FLIR to display any font in web page is even easy. Here they have got complete instructions for just that.

I have tried type face method and here is its example to download.

]]> CSS is a simple file which controls the visual appearance of a web page without compromising its structure. Why to use it and how to use it properly. If you don’t use CSS on your web pages and you have many tables and content on them, chances are that your HTML file size will be quite heavy. Fact is that we live in a busy world, and people will not wait more than 5 seconds for web page to load. Some web developers implement the CSS on wrong way. They write their CSS in HTML code of the page, like this:

<html>
<head> 
<title>My Page</title>
<style>
A { font-family: Verdana; font-size:8pt; color:black; text-decoration:none } 
</style>
</head>
<body>some content</body>
</html>

Correct way is to link the external CSS file in the pages. i.e.

<link rel='stylesheet' href='css/styles.css' type='text/css' media='all' />
