If you use a custom font in a web site, chances are that most viewers will not have the font installed on their pc, so their browser will substitute a default font. That can totally destroy your layout.
It is best to stick with standard fonts for text and use images for anything requiring custom fonts.
Here is a link that shows the common fonts.
Oh right – I understand what you mean about the font not showing up for others. Is it possible that I could make my heading/ font into a transparent Jpeg that could be overlayed onto my chosen header then or is that not possible?
Yes, that is what I do. But it usually requires a change to header.php in the theme unless the theme provides a customizable header logo image.
could you tell me what part of the header.php file i must edit in order to put a jpeg image containing the title of my page into the header.
At the minute my page displays the site title that I have saved in my general settings, so i guess i muct delete this info out of the header.php file…. but i’m not sure where to stick in the image..
A lot depends on your theme – different themes can use different coding.
In one of the ones I used, I replaced the call to bloginfo(‘name’) in this line:
<tr><td class="logo-name"><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></td></tr>
with the image in this one:
<tr><td class="logo-name"><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><img src="http://localhost/opticians/wp-content/themes/WP-Medical/images/logo-name.png" title="Opticians Home" height="70px" width="550px" /></a></td></tr>
