hi folks,

it’s my first post here. i tried to use the search tool but as my questions are so general, it couldn’t return good answers.

I am trying to create few fonts and see how it comes on a webpage. In this process, i have couple of questions... basic ones!!

1. say I created fonts in a non-english language and used this font to develop a webpage. Now, when another person opens up this page, how will it be rendered on his machine? does he need to install this font?

2. is there any association between a font and unicode characters? if yes, can you explain how are they related.

3. Is my understanding correct here? Browsers don’t need any font installed on local machine to render unicode fonts? is it correct?

By asking all these questions, i am trying to understand how this font gets rendered on local user’s machine if used in a webpage to increase the usability of fonts.

please let me know. i may have asked wrong or a noob like questions but i hope it’d be fine.

thanks in advance
