How to add a custom font to the site?

I am working on a new project. On this website, the client used the font (Volta Regular). Please tell me how I can use this. This font is missing from my computer. How can I use it? This problem will come with the whole machine. How can I customize it using CSS?

You will need the downloadable fonts described in this AListApart article (scroll down to the section titled "Web Fonts: The Code You Will Use"). But be careful. Browser support is still patchy, so you want to provide web a safe default font for backward compatibility.

, a CSS based cufon

solution and a JavaScript solution.

Check out fontsquirrel.com

They have ready-made @ font-face font kits, as well as a generator that will let you provide your own font (just make sure it's licensed for web use).

If it's the font I'm thinking of: I'm not a lawyer and this is not a copyright overflow, but the font isn't free and the license seems pretty clear that @ font-face embedding is not okay.

In this case, either 1) buy a font and make images with it (if it's just for the logo / title); or 2) tell the client that the font is not suitable for web use and ask them to choose something more generic (or at least legally nested).
