First, grab your font in all possible formats. Font Squirrel has a generator.
Put those files somewhere relative to your CSS file. For this example, I’ll use font/ in the same folder as the CSS.
@font-face { font-family: 'Font Name'; src: url('fonts/font-name.eot'); src: url('fonts/font-name.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('fonts/font-name.woff') format('woff'), url('fonts/font-name.ttf') format('truetype'), url('fonts/font-name.otf') format('opentype'), url('fonts/font-name.svg#font-name') format('svg'); }
Then just use Font Name as your font family, just like normal:
h1 { font-family: 'Font Name'; }
Some people (including Font Squirrel) use the local declaration and a 2-byte unicode character (popularly: a smiley face) instead of that second .eot line, to fix some rather uninteresting IE quirkiness.
Basically, this line:
src: url('fonts/font-name.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
becomes this:
src: local('☺'),
