CSS unicode font

I am surprised to see few websites where they have kept normal unicode font (tamil language). But while displaying the website it is seen not as a normal unicode font but it looks more attractive and stylish.

For example: http://dinakaran.com/News_Detail.asp?Nid=33281

How it is possible?

Solution

  • These are custom fonts loaded on the listed example via CSS. So, you have to use utf-8 encoding.

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

    And configure your custom fonts via CSS and @font-face to get the same effect.

    @font-face {font-family: 'DINAKARAN2W'; src: ... }
body { font-family:"DINAKARAN2W",... }
