CSS Font “Helvetica Neue”

Question

I often see the websites using font \"Helvetica Neue\". Is this font safe to use, like eg. Arial? Or do the browsers have trouble rendering it or not many machines have this fon

Answer 1

This font is not standard on all devices. It is installed by default on some Macs, but rarely on PCs and mobile devices.

To use this font on all devices, use a @font-face declaration in your CSS to link to it on your domain if you wish to use it.

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