Cool titles/headings on website
Does anyone know how http://activeden.net/ manages to use a custom font for their headings such as:
10,386
Flash & Flex Files from $1
Weekly Features
Free File!
etc, etc
It's not cufon because that cannot be selected and its not flash.. so how are they doing this?
Anyone know the technique?

Why is there a ¿ in the font face code??

In short, it is there to make the correct version of your font is loading from your own website and doesn't accidentally get polluted by the local font-cache of the machine it is being rendered on.

Google provides the Google Font API (http://code.google.com/webfonts) which allows of embedding from a list of open source fonts easily using this technique.
