Hello Everyone, :D Can someone show me how to embed a custom font I bought and embed it in one of my emails so I can send the email using the “custom font” to 1 of my clients. :) Thank you so much!

Here you go : http://bit.ly/J7Uq79

Or: http://css-tricks.com/custom-fonts-in-emails/

And specifically, read other people’s comments on that second link.

quick answer – you shouldn’t / can’t.

Emails run on old technology and there are no standards so either use a system default font or use images sparingly.

Hope that helps

Highly not recommended! Unless you want to be involved in a hell with the final client, telling you all the errors they are getting on their different machines, email clients and platforms.

You are not even able to use other than inline CSSs, so deal with it! ;)

I agree with Jonathan on this one, email platforms just dont support custom fonts like they should yet. Try finding an alternative to your problem. custom fonts + email = sleepless nights.

Hi James, have you considered just sending an image attachment of the font?

Why not reference the custom font using inline css, then include a zip file of the fonts. With instructions.

You could however do a read this email online link, and initiate a custom.css file.
