I'll avoid your site, I don't want anything downloaded and installed automatically without my consent. Doing so is a bad idea and won't be possible with proper security settings. Inform the user they need additional components and let them choose to download and install it.

If the certain font is just for a title or a small part of your text, you could use an image instead...

The site is only going to be used inside the company, so no worries about unwanted stuff to be downloaded, The font I need is for a barcode and its nog going to be the same all the time, its for label printing. I know the easiest way of making sure its on the client side is to manually installing the font where the app is going to be used, but its not allways going to be guaranteed the user will be on the same pc, so in that case if the font is not dedected it must be placed in the Windows/fonts directory

I found some script to do it but it only works on server side Dim objStream objStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream") objStream.Type = 1 ' adTypeBinary objStream.Open("URL=http://10.52.223.67/PPE/Font/FRE3OF9X.ttf") objStream.SaveToFile("C:\Temp\FRE3OF9X.ttf", 2) ' adSaveCreateOverWrite objStream.Close() objStream = Nothing Const FONTS = &H14& Dim objShell Dim objFolder objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") objFolder = objShell.Namespace(FONTS) objFolder.CopyHere("C:\Temp\FRE3OF9X.ttf") on the client side I get the following error System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Write to file failed [COMException (0x800a0bbc): Write to file failed.]

THIS IS THE WRONG WAY WHAT YOU WANT TO DO in this case this link will help you, you need to create EOT file Procedure to prepare Dynamic Fonts ( EOT) - Before creating these files keep following points in your mind - 1.Install the desired font on your local machine first. 2.Keep the file name same as your font name. 3.Do not use multiple hindi fonts while authoring. http://webservices.nic.in/wsmad/ResourceCentre/hindiweb.aspx

Yes, there is a solution, don't do it or ask the user to download fonts package. :doh:

Even for regional language websites, I refrain visiting websites which require custom fonts. The recommended option is Unicode. I am voting a '5' for your message.

Illegal option. Your website should be reported in http://www.stopbadware.org/[^] and http://www.websecurityguard.com/[^] as dangerous website.
