I downloaded a bunch of fonts from www.graffitifonts.com that I would like to use on my website. They are all .TFT files, so I dont know what app would open a .TFT or if those work in Mac OS X, but I would like to get them to work and use them in BBEdit when coding my site (I normally use BBEdit...have GoLive and Dreamweaver MX too). If anyone can help me get them to work I would appreciate it. If not and it turns out they arent compatible on Mac I will just use the PC instead. Hopefully I can do everything on my computer though.

    I am assuming its not a typo since you did it twice, but are you sure you mean TFT, and not .TTF

    This is not the answer to your question, and perhaps I misunderstand what you are saying, but...



    The way I am understanding it is that you downloaded kickassfont.tft, and you want to use them on your website. You can't just put a <font face="kickassfont">I love this font!</font>

    If you use them on your website anyone who visits will have to also have the font.



    A better solution is to create jpeg of the text you want to be in the font. Simply places the fonts in the Library:Fonts folder and open Photoshop/Illustrator/what ever to create the images.



    Or use PHP to dynamically generate an image of the text in the font so you don't have to keep creating new images in Photoshop everytime the text changes. (See the OReilly book PHP Cookbook on how to do this)
