Confused about web fonts -
i confused fonts use in websites.
i have font purchased - says desktop font. i'm calling css using @fontface , working fine. site on localhost.
i aware of fonts google fonts , have used them before don't need project.
can use desktop font website , load font folder onto server? realize desktop fonts meant use applications photoshop - there reason cant use website using @fontface?
technically valid font file should work @fontface
. file (.otf, .ttf, .woff, etc...) handled browser font file - significant difference between desktop font , web font is, in cases, web font have optimizations made since being delivered on web. not prevent desktop font being used, makes font designed web more efficient.
a description of these differences can found here: http://creativepro.com/print-vs-web-fonts-what-s-the-difference/
regardless of file working or not need review font's licensing know sure if allowed or not. purchased fonts have licenses allow use on web while others may not. since purchased font file best bet either read license came font file or contact publisher , verify how can , cannot used.
fonts no different other asset (graphics, audio, video, etc...) , should treated same way in regards licensing.
