Following other recent posts about using non-standard fonts, I would like to show how Google Font Api is working.
Following the examples in the related page, we can create text with a custom font. In reality there's a quite wide selection of available fonts, however it is limited. If you think it is too limited, then search the blog for other solutions.
The basic function of Google Web Fonts is linking to the Google Api. Put the following code in the <head> of your document:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Tangerine">
<style>
h1 {
font-family: 'Tangerine', serif;
font-size: 48px;
}
</style>
