How to use fonts that are .otf file format with Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2015?

I have some fonts in .otf file format.

They open fine in Adobe Photoshop CC 2015.

How can I import or use these fonts that are in .otf file format with Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2015 with CSS3 and HTML5?

I was checking out fontsquirrel.com and I've seen when you download a font you have options for font formats like .ttf, .eot, .woff and .svg.

If I have a font that's only in .otf does that mean I can't use this font on the web?

Is there a .otf to .ttf, .eot, .woff and .svg converters?
Kyle Hamilton

fontsquirrel converts your font into those formats. Those are the formats you'll need to use the font on the web.

'otf' format fonts aren't used by all browsers.  In addition, you need the CSS package that goes with web fonts.  This isn't as easy as posting the font file to your web site.

You need to check out the MyFonts page.  If you bought the fonts from them, you need to get the web fonts package and license from them

Ok.

Here's an example..Free Font Lato

It says that it'll work with CSS, however I don't see the webfonts download link, the folder that contains the different formats and stylesheet.css

Only the .ttf link.

I don't see it for that font either.

I sent them an email, so I'll let you know what they say.

No, there is no download link for that one - not sure why. But the license states that you can use it for the web. So if you want, you can download the TTF and use fontsquirrel to generate the other formats. It's a workaround for the impatient. Otherwise, wait for them to get back to you.
