You have to embed the font with all typeface styles you need. If for example
you need the plain, bold and bold-italic typefaces, then you have to embed
the font three times with the different typeface properties:
@font-face { src: local("Arial");
fontFamily: myFontFamily;
advancedAntiAliasing: true;
}
@font-face { src: local("Arial");
fontFamily: myFontFamily;
fontWeight: bold;
advancedAntiAliasing: true;
}
@font-face { src: local("Arial");
fontFamily: myFontFamily;
fontWeight: bold;
fontStyle: italic;
advancedAntiAliasing: true;
}
