Web Fonts
Have you tried web fonts yet? If not, I encourage you to do so as it's easy to try and FREE too.
Here's How To Try Google Web Fonts
First you'll need to go to Google Web Fonts to find a font you want to try. When you have one selected, you can follow the directions on the site, or just do the following:
Step 1
Add a link in your head section that points to the font you want to use like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Font+Name">
The Font+Name is replaced with the name of the font you want to use.
Step 2
Add a style in your site stylesheet that indicates which selector you want to use the font on, like this:
CSS selector {
font-family: 'Font Name', serif;
}
Again, the 'Font Name' is replaced with the name of the font you want to use. It's also recommended that as a fall back, you also use the generic style, like 'serif', 'sans-serif', or 'cursive' just in case something goes wrong. (You're probably used to doing this anyway. A very good habit.)
That's all there is to it. Test out your site and you should see the Element you've selected display in the font you chose. The only drawback I've run into is that sometimes, you'll see the Element displayed in the default font first, before it's displayed in your chosen font. This is anther good reason to use the generic font style, so that it more closely matches your intended style.
