Where's the font file?


I'm building a page with this font, see here: jsfiddle sample

The font is called Cursive; it's not a web-safe font. On Chrome and Firefox, it looks great. However, in IE, it doesn't show. I'd like to use a @font-face css declaration but I'm wondering where I can find the font file for it? I assume it's already loaded on my computer somewhere; I'd like to find the files I need to them on a server.

Here is the image of what I'm seeing


Solution

  • Since the fonts we are looking at could be completely different based on what fonts we have installed on our separate machines, why not try What The Font?

    Take a screenshot of the text you see and upload it to Whatthefont -- it will detect what font it is using and give you several options to download both free and paid.

    From there you can include it in your css file.
