How to include a font .ttf using CSS?

Question

Only providing .ttf file for webfont won't be good enough for cross-browser support. The best possible combination at present is using the combination as :

@font-face {
  font-family: 'MyWebFont';
  src: url('webfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
  src: url('webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
       url('webfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Modern Browsers */
       url('webfont.ttf')  format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
       url('webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}

This code assumes you have .eot , .woff , .ttf and svg format for you webfont. To automate all this process , you can use : Transfonter.org.

Also , modern browsers are shifting towards .woff font , so you can probably do this too : :

@font-face {
  font-family: 'MyWebFont';
  src: url('myfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Chrome 6+, Firefox 3.6+, IE 9+, Safari 5.1+ */
   url('myfont.ttf') format('truetype'); /* Chrome 4+, Firefox 3.5, Opera 10+, Safari 3—5 */
}

Look for browser support : Can I Use fontface

Did you try format?

@font-face {
  font-family: 'The name of the Font Family Here';
  src: URL('font.ttf') format('truetype');
}

Also, might depend on browser as well.

You can use font face like this:

@font-face {
  font-family:"Name-Of-Font";
  src: url("yourfont.ttf") format("truetype");
}

I know this is an old post but this solved my problem.

@font-face{
  font-family: "Font Name";
  src: url("../fonts/font-name.ttf") format("truetype");
}

notice src:url("../fonts/font-name.ttf"); we use two periods to go back to the root directory and then into the fonts folder or wherever your file is located.

hope this helps someone down the line:) happy coding
