I trying to use local font to apply styles in html, below is the code.Font is not getting applied for harlow class used element
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
@font-face {
font-family: myFirstFont;
src:local("C:\Users\Website\fonts\Harlow_Solid_Italic.ttf");
}
.harlow{
font-family: myFirstFont;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>With CSS3, websites can finally use fonts other than the pre selected "web-safe" fonts.</div>
<p><b class="harlow">Note:</b> Internet Explorer 8 and earlier, do not support the @font-face rule with the WOFF format (only support for EOT format).</p>
</body>
</html>
I made the following changes and I got the result
- Quotation marks for font-family
- Using of URL instead of local
- Changing of "\" to "/"
Note:
Use of the local css function throws an error in the developer console saying resource is not loaded. See the modified code below.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
@font-face {
font-family: "myFirstFont";
src: url("C:/Users/Desktop/Website/fonts/Harlow_Solid_Italic.ttf");
}
.harlow {
font-family: "myFirstFont";
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>With CSS3, websites can finally use fonts other than the pre selected "web-safe" fonts.</div>
<p><b class="harlow">Note:</b> Internet Explorer 8 and earlier, do not support the @font-face rule with the WOFF format (only support for EOT format).</p>
</body>
</html>
Use the correct path for file.
your path does not work on the host. because your host has no drive 'c:/...' or anythings like this.
so you can use
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
@font-face {
font-family: myFirstFont;
src:url("/fonts/Harlow_Solid_Italic.ttf");
}
.harlow{
font-family: myFirstFont;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>With CSS3, websites can finally use fonts other than the pre selected "web-safe" fonts.</div>
<p><b class="harlow">Note:</b> Internet Explorer 8 and earlier, do not support the @font-face rule with the WOFF format (only support for EOT format).</p>
</body>
</html>
