a question that still bothers me. How can I use the font-family property with a font that I use in my site and is not installed on the client post

you can use whatever font you want but if the client have not installed the font in the browser it will never see it....

you can use font-family to create a list of 3 / 4 fonts the browser will check from the first and then go to the second and so on.... and will use the first available in the client browser.

Most browsers today support @font-face embedding so you can embed a custom font which will display on the user's browser (regardless if the visitor has the font installed or not).

Here's an older thread I started a couple weeks ago with some real code snippits to show you how it works. In this example I'm using my own font, but degrade back to Arial, and then a sans-serif in the event the browser doesn't support the custom font embed:

Your biggest restriction will be finding a font which license legally supports @font-face embedding. (Most don't). :-/

Nice way...... but I prefer stay on classic font for main text and use special font as image for title or similar.............
