Custom Fonts

[dotmidi]

is it just me but do downloading custom font's and following any tutorial to make them work is just.. NOT WORKING?! :TnT:
I tried every code and followed every tutorial and used even different types of fonts and font files!
I am beginning to think maybe neocities does not support custom fonts maybe?

Neocities does support fonts Although firstly I assume you need to be a supporter to upload them (you can still link them form other hosts like ichi.city)

How to:

Its really simple, you just need a ttf file (the standard font file you get from most font sites) and then I like to make a font.css file to make adding the font to a page simple. Iv attached both below as examples (basiic font made by cinni!!)

Then to add it to your webpage just link the css and set your font.

Code

<link href="basiic.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
<style>
 body {
  font-family: "basiic", monospace;
 }
</style>

To adapt this to other fonts, just change the ttf file and edit the css file so it has the right names ^^

Hope that helps!

(Also for non neocities hosted or other kinds of web fonts, Iv never used them, but the process would be the same!)

i had a feeling it might have to be a supporter thing

il try again! if im able to do it w/o paying money that would be great
if not, i'll just get my work paycheck later

If you can link the ttf file from somewhere else thats fine, no supporter needed, as long as its a raw link! (but be aware if that other host goes down i'll break fonts on your site!)

.otf works too by the way, it's the free and open replacement for the unfree .ttf standard but compatible with it.
