Hi all,

I'm really getting tired of the bland old fonts included in the standard themes. Hence I am interested in uploading some (open source) .ttf files to my site so that hopefully I can make the page title and perhaps headings of things in a more interesting font.

How can I do this?

I have already tried installing Google Font, but the font selection is pretty pathetic compared to the likes of dafont.com etc. I'm sure Google Fonts will improve in time but I'm looking for something now as my organisation is about to do some publicity and I'd like the site to be looking good.

Any help is much appreciated. Cheers.

Thanks for the reply, but that doesn't seem to be what i'm looking for at all...

Someone please throw me a bone here, there must be some way that I can have my sites fonts in something other than boring old arial!

This might help - I don't think you are looking for or will find a drupal-specific solution...

You do realize that 99 out of 100 times the wild and crazy fonts you see on the internet are delivered as a bitmap piece of artwork? You can edit any theme and change the bitmaps to include other typography. And the ones that don't use technology like the suggested typekit.

If you want to render dynamic content in non-standard fonts that all users can display, you'll need some type of real-time rendering engine. The Dynamic Rendering module with the sIFR plug-in is probably the most popular method for doing this in drupal. Other options include Signwriter and the old stand-alone sIFR module.
