Use multiple @font-face rules in CSS

How can I use more than @font-face rule in my CSS?

I've inserted this into my stylesheet:

body {     background: #fff url(../images/body-bg-corporate.gif) repeat-x;     padding-bottom: 10px;     font-family: 'GestaRegular', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; }  @font-face {     font-family: 'GestaReFogular';     src: url('gestareg-webfont.eot');     src: local('☺'),          url('gestareg-webfont.woff') format('woff'),          url('gestareg-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),          url('gestareg-webfont.svg#webfontg8dbVmxj') format('svg'); } 

This currently only applies for the whole body of text on the site. But, I would like to specify h1 to use a different font. How can I do this?

How do I use multiple fonts in CSS?

Start with the font you want, and always end with a generic family, to let the browser pick a similar font in the generic family, if no other fonts are available. Note: Separate each value with a comma. Note: If a font name contains white-space, it must be quoted.

What is CSS font face rule?

The @font-face CSS at-rule rule is used to associate a font name that can be used in a style sheet. A font-family descriptor is used within the rule to name the font and an src descriptor is associated with an external font name. This can be used with downloadable fonts.

Custom web font not working in IE9

Which includes a more descriptive breakdown of the CSS you see below (and explains the tweaks that make it work better on IE6-9).


@font-face {   font-family: 'Bumble Bee';   src: url('bumblebee-webfont.eot');   src: local('☺'),         url('bumblebee-webfont.woff') format('woff'),         url('bumblebee-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),         url('bumblebee-webfont.svg#webfontg8dbVmxj') format('svg'); }  @font-face {   font-family: 'GestaReFogular';   src: url('gestareg-webfont.eot');   src: local('☺'),         url('gestareg-webfont.woff') format('woff'),         url('gestareg-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),         url('gestareg-webfont.svg#webfontg8dbVmxj') format('svg'); }  body {   background: #fff url(../images/body-bg-corporate.gif) repeat-x;   padding-bottom: 10px;   font-family: 'GestaRegular', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; }  h1 {   font-family: "Bumble Bee", "Times New Roman", Georgia, Serif; } 

And your follow-up questions:

Q. I would like to use a font such as "Bumble bee," for example. How can I use @font-face to make that font available on the user's computer?

Note that I don't know what the name of your Bumble Bee font or file is, so adjust accordingly, and that the font-face declaration should precede (come before) your use of it, as I've shown above.

Q. Can I still use the other @font-face typeface "GestaRegular" as well? Can I use both in the same stylesheet?

Just list them together as I've shown in my example. There is no reason you can't declare both. All that @font-face does is instruct the browser to download and make a font-family available. See: http://iliadraznin.com/2009/07/css3-font-face-multiple-weights
