MS Office Forum / Word / Web Authoring / July 2004Embedding fonts in an HTML
Hello, I am using Word 2003. I'm trying to create a signature that looks just right no matter who opens my e-mail by creating an HTML signature. I'd like to embed the fonts. Can you tell me how using Word? Thanks ----- Original Message ----- From: "boe" <> Newsgroups: microsoft.public.word.web.authoring Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 11:59 PM Subject: Embedding fonts in an HTML > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Thanks There not any email method of forcing somebody to have something on their computer to view your attempts at communication, email or otherwise. If you desire a signature added, the accepted practice is with an image, even then, some users and browsers will not accept that. I tried using an MS tool called WEFT which lets you embed fonts in HTML's. I created an HTML that works fine when I put it on a web server as far as embedding the font but when I used the html as a signature template, it doesn't include the source code for embedding the fonts. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "boe" <> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > If you desire a signature added, the accepted practice is with an image, > even then, some users and browsers will not accept that.

With Word? By turning on VML in the Web Options. Please note this is only as successful as your embedded fonts because the browser prompts non-MS usesrs to download a software to view the vector image. Thanks, I still think MS has some trick hidden in their deepest basement that would allow embbeded fonts in signatures. In the original signature.htm, I have code like <SCRIPT> document.writeln("<style> @font-face {font-family:Some;src:URL('http://fullPath/Some.eot')}</style>"); </SCRIPT> And if I go to that HTM on my web site, it works fine but when I use htm as a template in Oultook, I believe the code is stripped before the message sends because the signature file appears in converted text even though going to the web page, the text appears fine. I'm testing it on a computer that doesn't have the font installed although the EOT files are residing on my web page. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "boe" <> [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > browser prompts non-MS usesrs to download a software to view the vector > image. ----- Original Message ----- From: "boe" <> Newsgroups: microsoft.public.word.web.authoring Sent: Saturday, July 17, 2004 7:04 PM Subject: Re: Embedding fonts in an HTML > Thanks, I still think MS has some trick hidden in their deepest basement > that would allow embbeded fonts in signatures.

It depends entirely on the mail sending options of "your" Outlook. "</SCRIPT></SCRIPT>" Java, JS or VBA? Overall, it works fine on your local machine because that is the way you have everything configured. When you send an email to a non-local machine, you have no way of knowing, controlling or forcing that user to install fonts or software. Nor do you even have the capability to prevent that user from turning off Java, ActiveX and a variety of other software's. Even ASP is limited to users of ASP. BTW ASP uses VML (Vector Markup Language) as well. You might have a better success uploading the fonts to a website and providing a link to that website (and the fonts) in the html. Not sure that's possible, however something to explore. Thanks - that is what I'm doing. The issue isn't with the HTML - it works fine. The issue is with Outlook. I was hoping someone here might know away the issue within Outlook. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "boe" <> [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > providing a link to that website (and the fonts) in the html.

The <style>@font-face {}</style> syntax is valid HTML, and should work in e-mail as well. Javascript isn't as supported in e-mail, so that could be causing problems. - Joel |
