Forum:Custom fonts

Hi. I noticed on some wikis, particularly the ones with the Dragon Age Wiki skin, that they're using custom fonts, that are not available by default. At first I thought they're using the CSS3 @font-face method, but it seems that's not the case. For example, on the Deus Ex Wiki the section headings are using the OrbitronMedium font, unavailable anywhere else. Any clue how it's done? — Sovq 07:38, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

The DE wiki used: @font-face { font-family: "OrbitronMedium"; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; src: local("☺"), url("http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb41525/common/skins/oasis/fonts/orbitron/orbitron-medium-webfont.woff") format("woff"), url("http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb41525/common/skins/oasis/fonts/orbitron/orbitron-medium-webfont.ttf") format("truetype"), url("http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb41525/common/skins/oasis/fonts/orbitron/orbitron-medium-webfont.svg#webfont5FiGFJOa") format("svg"); } then used .portal_header_text { border-bottom: 1px dotted #FEC356; display: table; font-family: OrbitronMedium; font-size: 2em; padding: 0.6em 0 0; text-align: center; width: 100%; } for the section headings.


 * That's what I thought, but I can't find the @font-face import anywhere in their custom style sheets, hence the question. — Sovq 08:09, September 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Perhaps they used Special:Contact and asked for custom fonts? If wikia has enabled them on their wikis, they wouldn't show on stylesheets. -- 19:57, September 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * User:Tierrie was kind enough to explain to me how it's done, should anyone be interested. — Sovq 20:56, September 9, 2011 (UTC)
