Using A Custom Font

Not only are fonts fun they are potentially... crime fighting!
What font(s) _does_ the USA use for car licenses? Well, it varies.

You can use a custom (open license) font in your page(s) by:

1. downloaded the font file
     Mine is "Amadeus.ttf" from www.fontsquirrel.com
2. putting a font-face for it into your CSS3 styling rules...

                        @font-face {
                         font-family: amadeus;
                         src: url(Amadeus.ttf);
                        }
                    

3. adding CSS3 styling rules for selecting when to use it

                       .fancyFace {
                          font-family:amadeus;
                       }
                    

4. adding to your markup

                      <h1 class=fancyFace> 
                                Using A Custom Font
                      </h1>
                    

   After experimenting, I decided this one looked better w/ larger, 3.5em, font size.

Yeahhhh !!!!
