Webkit Fonts

Post by Dave59 »

I have bought the licence for fonts for my web site.
Normally I would add a link in the head of my page to the CSS in the webkit directory ( in the site root) .
Call up the font in my css.

This will not work with CMSMS.
I can find lots of chats about legal questions, but nothing about how I can use my "MyFontsWebfontsKit".
Has anyone used such kits please.
Help would be very much appreciated.
The draft of my web is under.
http://www.lackier-und-designstudio.de/web1
Only the start of index page so far.
Thanks in advance

I don't have a live site working with it but some of the tests I made before worked perfectly and I have a localhost version still working. There shouldn't be any issues, at least AFAIK...

Edit:
it seems more of a path issue (not sure though).
like :"http://www.lackier-und-designstudio.de/ ... 57_3_0.eot" instead of "http://www.lackier-und-designstudio.de/ ... 57_3_0.eot"...
Not sure... just my two cents... :)

How did you do it?
Just put the link in the head between Literal tags?
Where did you upload the files to?

Well I did several ways, as a test since I wasn't much convinced to use it at first. But yeah, basically I used the uploads path. I also tested an external link. All worked as explained on either sites I used (btw: Ijust used free fonts from "http://www.google.com/webfonts" and another site I can't recall at the moment....).

Thanks the fonts are in http://www.lackier-und-designstudio.de/ ... 57_3_0.eot.
The CMSMS installation is under http://www.lackier-und-designstudio.de/web1 until it is finished.
I will try them in uploads.

It should have worked anywhere... ;) Take a look at possible server access errors. It seems to me that the browser wasn't finding the font files. Also it seems you are using absolute paths: I would use relative paths, to make it easier to move the whole site from one directory to another.
Anyway, glad it is solved :D
