What are dynamic fonts?

Dynamic Fonts are a condensed font file (FPR) that is imported to a user's computer for use on the web either from a third party source such as BitStream's Truedoc site or from fonts stored yourself on your own web server.

These are the part of Dynamic HTML that lets you use a far greater variety of text fonts than were previously available on peoples' browsers.
         
 

How do you insert these into your web page?

(1) You put a link to the web site containing the font file into the head of your page.

For example:

<LINK REL="fontdef" SRC="http://www.truedoc.com/pfrs/SnowCap.pfr">

(2) You then put a tag into the body of your page as in the example below.

<FONT FACE="SnowCap BT" SIZE=5>This is my text</FONT>

Your link code directs 4+ version browsers to a web site, which serves up the fonts when the page is served up live..
