I am trying to add a custom font to my website. I have tried lots of things but didn't succeed. Here is my css code:
@font-face
{
font-family: myFirstFont;
src: url('ellis.ttf');
}
body
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
cursor: default;
font-size: 11px;
line-height: 1;
font-family: myFirstFont,arial,san-serif;
overflow:auto;
background:#ecf6f7;
}
I know this is not a cross browser case, but I am trying to make work a simple case at first.
add format("opentype"); after URL
.ttf so the fromat should be format(truetype). Modern browsers usually don't need the format.Are you sure that the font file is being referenced in the right place? The file ellis.ttf will be referenced from wherever the Stylesheet is.
If you have your HTML page at http://website.com/page.html, but your CSS at http://website.com/css/page.css then it'll look for ellis.ttf at http://website.com/css/ellis.ttf.
apply font like this..
@font-face
{
font-family: 'ellis';
src: url('ellis.ttf');
}
.body
{
font-family: "ellis";
}
on both the font-family declarations add speech marks.
so add to both @font-face and body:
font-family: "myFirstFont";
Or alternatively try this to make sure all code is correct and to make sure its not the code:

It also may sound stupid, but make sure all spellings of fonts and paths are correct.
Just in case) If @font-face is declared in another file, then make sure that you import it into the one where body
font-family: "myFirstFont";
