Custom fonts

Hi,

I'm trying to convert a design into a Kentico website but I'm having problems integrating custom fonts through @font-face. My idea was to create a folder "fonts" and add the different font files to link to them from my CSS. However, the system does not allow me to upload these file types (.eot, .svg, .ttf, .woff).

Is there any way I can achieve this? I'm not interested in using/being dependent on other solutions like Typekit, Cufon, etc.

Thanks!

RE:Custom fonts

Hi,

you could allow listed extensions in the Site Manager - Settings - Files - Upload extensions. Then the system should allow you to upload font files.

But if you need to link file in the css definition, you could upload it directly (using ftp for example) to the App_Themes directory for example:

@font-face {
	font-family: Delicious;
	font-weight: bold;
	src: url('../App_Themes/Delicious-Bold.otf');
}

Best regards,
