    <p>typekit might be also a solution for you beside those ones already mentioned.</p> <p><a href="https://typekit.com/" rel="nofollow">https://typekit.com/</a></p> <p>You must be aware that the users machine can only display the font you have choosen if they actually have these fonts on their computer.</p> <p>f.e <code>font-family: "Super Font", Helvetica, sans-serif;</code></p> <p>If you have choosen a font called "Super Font" the users machine won't display this exact font, cause they might not have it on their machine. As declaired in your CSS the user machine will now have a look at the alternative "Helvetica", which the most of computers have on their machine, so "Helvetica" is gonna be displayed. If not even "Helvetica" is available the users machine will display a sans-serif font.</p> <p>Here's a list of common fonts: <a href="http://www.ampsoft.net/webdesign-l/WindowsMacFonts.html" rel="nofollow">Link</a></p> <p>You already see, that they differ a bit in their look and font-weight cause they get rendered differently as Nate B already mentioned.</p> <p>If you want to use your "Super Font" have a look at <a href="http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface" rel="nofollow">http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface</a> as Jason Gennaro already recommended. There you'll be able not to only choose a font from a lot of free fonts but also use the @font-face generator to upload your own font and get all you need to build them right into your CSS, so that every machine will be able to display them (as far as @font-face is supported, <a href="http://webfonts.info/wiki/index.php?title=@font-face_browser_support" rel="nofollow">Link</a>). Even if it's already well supported, always declare a fallback font.</p> <p>And here's a good blog post about the different ways to declare a font-size: <a href="http://kyleschaeffer.com/best-practices/css-font-size-em-vs-px-vs-pt-vs/" rel="nofollow">Link</a></p> <p>If you wanna dig a bit deeper and find out how to control the font-size over different devices, check out this article: <a href="http://www.alistapart.com/articles/howtosizetextincss" rel="nofollow">Link</a></p>
