Force use of online webfont instead of installed webfont

Question

The downloaded version of a font that I would like to use is different to the one that Google provides, and I was wondering if it was possible to force the user into using Google's version.

Answer 1

According to this question's comment, if you use @font-face to embed your custom font onto your webpage, it will use your custom font not the one you installed on the computer.

My solution, while creating the custom font make sure to change its name and set it not equal to the one with which it's installed on the computer.

Hope I am clear and I solved your problem :)
