Using Additional Fonts in Browser Applications
Regardless of how you installed the font in the system, to reference it using a browser page, specify the font as
a STYLE, or use FONT tags. Use intuitive names for the fonts (use FontViewer on a Windows desktop and
locate the
Typeface Name
line), and use quotes to enclose names with spaces. If the specified font is missing,
Internet Explorer uses its default font to display the text.
Things to Consider when Using Additional Fonts
•
Different font styles (e.g., bold and italic) often require separate TTF files; be sure to provide all required
styles. Do not reference styles by name (e.g., Arial Bold); set the style separately from the font (e.g.,
using a “b” or “strong” tag, or a style).
•
For best results, do not direct the system font path to a storage card (PCMCIA), as this can negatively
impact system performance. If this method is necessary, test the use of a storage card thoroughly for
fonts to ensure proper operation.
•
Most Web pages contain information that tells the browser what language encoding (the language and
character set) to use. If the page does not include that information, and the Language Encoding
Auto-Select feature is on, Internet Explorer can usually determine the appropriate language encoding. If
not, manually select it using
View
menu >
Encoding > More
, then select the appropriate language.
NOTE
If the Auto-Select feature or a specific language pack is not installed, Internet Explorer
prompts you to download the files. Adding languages does not guarantee Web pages display in the
preferred language.
