How do I include a non standard font into my site.

I know you have to include the fonts into your own site if you want to be independent of web fonts. But not sure how to do this in CSS. Is there a widget for this?

The simplest way is to use one of the large selection of Google hosted fonts. The downside to this is that these create a request to another server so it's important not to use more than one or two - especially on the mobile version of the site.

Non web safe fonts can be self hosted but you need to make sure you have all three file types - .eot, ttf and woff. See THIS page for more info.

I have always used a png image of the display font but now I'm not sure if I can place that image into one of your HTML5 widgets or even if I have to. The font image would set on top of a banner image in a Responsive site...the question for me is will that font image remain where I place it or will or should it move as the page responds to a change of device size. I'm sure this is a simple issue but having never used a responsive layout the issue must have been already addressed. The responsive banners certainly have the capability to include a caption as well as a link input but I would prefer the old method of precisely placing the font image where I choose.
