You may have wondered why your beautifully designed website looks great on your computer but not on other computers. What is the reason that the bold font that shouts "BUY ME" on my computer displays as Times Roman on my spouse's?

Fonts are operating system resources. This means that you can only see the font when it is installed on the computer that is viewing your site. Fonts that are default fonts don't always look like the one you intend.

Is this font a must-have?

It is possible to have your website set up so others can see the font. However, this comes with a cost.

Embedded fonts

You can embed fonts to your website. This means that when someone visits your site, the beautiful font will be embedded on their computer. It allows them to see what you see on your PC. This adds an additional layer to your website. This layer can take up to 20-25k per font, depending on how large it is.

Who are Your Target Audience?

Rural Illinois is your ideal target audience. Many rural Midwest residents are still using dial-up. Broadband will also help urban Americans if they are your target audience.

What Font Should You Use?

Recently, I ran a query to find free fonts and got nearly 12,000,000 results. There are so many options. First, choose the font that you like and then use it on your website. Next, create an embedded font file. Finally, attach the font to your stylesheet.

The Designer’s Dilemma

Although you cannot control the display of a browser, designers can embed the font in their Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to cause the font to download along with the page. Be aware that not all designers allow fonts to be embedded. Hmm.. Another option is to use TypeKit, which is a subscription-based service that allows you to link to high-quality Open Type fonts created by some of the best type foundries around the world.For more detail visit https://dafontnew.com
