Use multiple @font-face rules in CSS
How can I use more than @font-face
rule in my CSS?
I've inserted this into my stylesheet:
body {
background: #fff url(../images/body-bg-corporate.gif) repeat-x;
padding-bottom: 10px;
font-family: 'GestaRegular', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
@font-face {
font-family: 'GestaReFogular';
src: url('gestareg-webfont.eot');
src: local('☺'),
url('gestareg-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('gestareg-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('gestareg-webfont.svg#webfontg8dbVmxj') format('svg');
}
This currently only applies for the whole body of text on the site. But, I would like to specify h1
to use a different font. How can I do this?
Solution 1:
Note, you may also be interested in:

Which includes a more descriptive breakdown of the CSS you see below (and explains the tweaks that make it work better on IE6-9).
@font-face {
font-family: 'Bumble Bee';
src: url('bumblebee-webfont.eot');
src: local('☺'),
url('bumblebee-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('bumblebee-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('bumblebee-webfont.svg#webfontg8dbVmxj') format('svg');
}
@font-face {
font-family: 'GestaReFogular';
src: url('gestareg-webfont.eot');
src: local('☺'),
url('gestareg-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('gestareg-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('gestareg-webfont.svg#webfontg8dbVmxj') format('svg');
}
body {
background: #fff url(../images/body-bg-corporate.gif) repeat-x;
padding-bottom: 10px;
font-family: 'GestaRegular', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
h1 {
font-family: "Bumble Bee", "Times New Roman", Georgia, Serif;
}
And your follow-up questions:
Q. I would like to use a font such as "Bumble bee," for example. How can I use
@font-face
to make that font available on the user's computer?
Note that I don't know what the name of your Bumble Bee font or file is, so adjust accordingly, and that the font-face declaration should precede (come before) your use of it, as I've shown above.
Q. Can I still use the other
@font-face
typeface "GestaRegular" as well? Can I use both in the same stylesheet?
Just list them together as I've shown in my example. There is no reason you can't declare both. All that @font-face
does is instruct the browser to download and make a font-family available. See: http://iliadraznin.com/2009/07/css3-font-face-multiple-weights

@font-face {
font-family: Kaffeesatz;
src: url(YanoneKaffeesatz-Thin.otf);
font-weight: 200;
}
@font-face {
font-family: Kaffeesatz;
src: url(YanoneKaffeesatz-Light.otf);
font-weight: 300;
}
@font-face {
font-family: Kaffeesatz;
src: url(YanoneKaffeesatz-Regular.otf);
font-weight: normal;
}
@font-face {
font-family: Kaffeesatz;
src: url(YanoneKaffeesatz-Bold.otf);
font-weight: bold;
}
h3, h4, h5, h6 {
font-size:2em;
margin:0;
padding:0;
font-family:Kaffeesatz;
font-weight:normal;
}
h6 { font-weight:200; }
h5 { font-weight:300; }
h4 { font-weight:normal; }
h3 { font-weight:bold; }
