How to install it so that I can use it on my css file font-family:
Hope this helps ya:
@font-face
{
font-family: Downloadedfont;
src: url(http://www.site.com/file.ttf);
}
div
{
font-family:DownloadedFont;
}
Please verify that sharing the font file this way doesn't violate its copyright. Also, specify alternative font families in case a visitor's browser doesn't automatically install your custom font.
Thanks very much is there a way to do it without making an outside call/request????
Yes you upload it to your site xP
./fonts/file..ttf

That's the whole point of having a custom font. So that the visitor's browser WILL download it. Otherwise there's no point to installing it/specifying it.

Wrong. Where did you read that..? It obviously depends on license. He didn't specify which font he wants to use, thus you can't say whether he is doing it legally or not.

You don't understand the point - older browsers may not support custom fonts at all (can't be forced no matter what you do), so laie_techie suggested to use an alternative in case they don't. And he's correct.
Here is a code which will work in most browsers:
