I need two specific fonts for my C# WEB application: Calibri.ttf and CalibriB.ttf. My local machine has them installed, but I can't tell if they have always been there or if I installed them months/years ago. So, are these two fonts available on a standard DiscountASP.NET machine?
It doesn't matter if they are installed or not. If you use CSS, you can just reference them using a path and upload the fonts to your hosting space. http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_font-face_rule.asp You just need to have licensing rights.
Thanks for the reply, but the fonts will not be in WEB pages but in images created and delivered to the customer...
Thank. Your previous post made me think though. If they are on your servers then I suppose have the right to use them? They will have been paid for in the Windows installation? Presumably when I use them (or any other preinstalled font) in Word docs I'm not supposed to pay for the font use...? I see that the text for who and how to use this font is identical to that of Times New Roman, and further that the copyright of Calibri is Microsoft's. This is probably not your area, but maybe someone here knows who knows. This is a confusing area methinks!
You don't need specific licensing to use any native Windows fonts. But yes, it is confusing if you use a non-native font. I suppose the presumption is if you have access to download a ttf font you're licensed to use it, but of course that's not usually the case. Like a lot of things web-related, the rules are usually bent to the breaking point. Make of that what you will.
Magic! And I believe that Calibri is a native windows font, from Vista onwards I think (XP does not have it)
