    So I found out how to import a font and its not exactally working.
    He is the website i am working on: Marry Me At The Beach.
    My job is to convert PSDs to Code and every designer now has been using funky fonts. SO Instead of finding subsitutes i just decided to import the fonts. And its not working. The font i need to use is here: Modern but it says 404 not found. Souldnt there be a default index page with the list of fonts. Please help.

    You'll need to link to a file, not a directory, so http://www.conartistdesign.com/mmatb/changes/fonts/Modern/MModExt will not work, mabey something more like http://www.domain.tld/directory/file.ext will. I have managed to import fonts this way, but it doesn't work very well. SiFR is the better option.

    see thats what i thought to but the fonts that were sent to me dont have file extensions. Why? I have no idea.

    A file without an extension is not useful, unless photoshop knows what to do with them.

    If they use mac they are using mac fonts which cannot be used in Windows environments. Visa versa.

    apparently they are adobe postscript fonts... thats work on Win and mac right?

    I can't imagine that the no-extension files you have work at all, on any system, but I could be wrong (I have been before). You can always use SiFR, if you have adobe flash. You may need to explain stuff to the client (i.e. someone used a fancy font in the mockup and that doesn't work so well on the web, at least not without some sacrifices).
