Porting Custom Fonts into a Webpage

Does anyone know how to install custom fonts to a webpage? or know a good place with a good tutorial? thx for any help
 
A web page doesn't contain any fonts, it only tells the browser which fonts it wants to see. Those fonts must already be installed on the user's computer for the browser to find them.

To use custom fonts you must either:
- convince the user to download and install them
- use Flash which has its own display engine which can use fonts embedded into the SWF
- save the text as a GIF or JPEG graphic and use an <IMG> tag
 
Yeah, either use the standard fonts, which are:

serif
sans-serif
monospace
cursive
fantasy

(these aren't actual fonts, but font "families", or generic font types)

Or just put the text in an image. With the web you have to realize that the website you see is not the website others will see. Relying on pixel precision and specific fonts is just not how the web is supposed to be.

KISS (keep it simple stupid) !
