I have a problem with my code. Because I want to include a global font for my page and I downloaded a .ttf file. And I include it in my main CSS but my font wont change.
Here's my simple code:
@font-face {
font-family: 'oswald';
src: url('/font/oswald.regular.ttf');
}
html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp, small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var, b, u, i, center, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td, article, aside, canvas, details, embed, figure, figcaption, footer, header, hgroup, menu, nav, output, ruby, section, summary, time, mark, audio, video {
margin:0;
padding:0;
border:0;
font-size:100%;
font:inherit;
font-family: oswald;
vertical-align:baseline
}
I don't know where did I go wrong. Can you help me with this? Thanks.

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');
}
Read this article:
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
