gil sans light font in website

I have been asked to change the font throughout a website into Gil Sans Light. Is there anyway I can preload this font using javascript or some other utility to get it working across browsers - currently I can only see it in Dreamweaver and not on the live site regardless of browser (tried Safari, Firefox, Chrome and IE)开发者_StackOverflow.....

I have seen it before where someone has loaded in a font using some js but have no idea where to look for something like this.

Thanks for any advice or guidance in advance

You could do it with pure CSS by using @font-face.

You can even convert your font: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator

Although you need to check out whether the license allows it to be embedded on the web.

Have you read any articles about JS font libraries? I found this one for you.

something to start with:

• http://typekit.com/
• http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/apis/webfonts/docs/webfont_loader.html
• http://webfonts.fonts.com/en-US/Project/ChooseFonts?ViewFontID=692628

Check out Google Web Fonts: http://www.google.com/webfonts

Not sure if they have the font you are looking for but might have an alternative.
