71. Using @font-face
The basics are pretty simple to implement the @font-face rule, but it is possible to add lots of options to
extend its features.
Initially you define the rule, "font-family" is what you want to call the font, "src" is where it can be found,
include a "font-weight" (not needed for normal, but required by everything else, bold, thin etc).
@font-face {
font-family: DeliciousRoman;
src: url(http://www.font-face.com/fonts/delicious/Delicious-
Roman.otf);
font-weight:400;
}
Then just use it like any other font in any other style rule.
p {
font-family: DeliciousRoman, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
}
That's pretty much it for basic implementation.
