How to install a font to your website

Fonts live on the visitor's browser. This means all you need to do is supply HTML code defining the font you want to use, such as this snippet.

<SPAN STYLE="font-family: Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">Your message!</SPAN>

If none of your font choices are found, the browser will use whatever font it prefers.
