Font style and web browser

[aldro]

According to the CSS of my layout, the main font type should be Tuffy Regular. I have this font installed on my computer. The maker of the layout said that the layout is compatible with Mozilla Fiefox, Google Chrome and Safari.

I use Firefox on my desk computer and I've noticed that the main font is different. It looks like Arial or some other basic font. However, when I'm on my laptop which has Google Chrome, it shows the Tuffy font. I'm wondering what causes this, can anyone tell me? Thanks in advance!


P.S. I havent't asked the designer of the layout, because I found it at Livejournal and have since deleted my account there.

Yeah, that's what I've been able to glean from some reading on this too.

Unfortunately, in the OP's example style, the font is stored on Dropbox.

As near as I can see the only way to use a web font on DW that works in all browsers is to store it on a server you have access to so you can do the .htaccess thing, or use something on Google fonts or a paid font hosting service.

I think this should really be made into an official FAQ for users that lays out how this works.

Yeah, we probably should, given that its a user-settable property in core2 :s

Unfortunately Firefox is the odd one out there.
