I'd like to put my Windows font like this site. It looks (at least to me) like the kind of fonts you find in macs, which I always liked a lot.

Anyone knows the name of the font / where I can get it? I'm not particulary proficient with html and such. I've tried looking at its code but I ended up not finding the font file.

Thanks

True but this question is not about visual identification but on how to use the html to find the font used. – laurent Aug 1 '10 at 17:21
Nonetheless, this question is about websites, which makes it off topic for Super User. – Hello71 Aug 1 '10 at 17:28

Here's some of the font families used on the site that I found with firebug:

"droid-sans-mono-1","droid-sans-mono-2    
"ronnia-1","ronnia-2","Myriad Pro"    
"bree-1","bree-2"    
"ff-dax-compact-web-pro-1","ff-dax-compact-web-pro-2"

The comma means that that font is a fallback if the first isn't available. :D

A peek at the CSS file linked from the page HTML source says the font is called "Ronnia:"

font-family: "ronnia-1", "ronnia-2", "Myriad Pro";

There are some other fonts, but I think the main one you're talking about is Ronnia.

The Ronnia font can be purchased, but it is a little pricey!

@Hello71 - The question is asking how to set the Windows OS font to one from the site. Also, it's not a pure visual font-identification question. – Leftium Aug 1 '10 at 17:52
If I'm seeing the font in my computer, doesn't it mean that Firefox in some way must be downloading it from some place, that I might then access to get the font for free? – devoured elysium Aug 2 '10 at 4:30
I am not sure how the font is being rendered on your computer; the font may be downloaded with an obfuscated filename, or it may just reside in your RAM memory instead of your hard drive memory. Anyways, if you want to use the font, you should honor the font foundry's licensing terms. Or use a free font that is similar. – Leftium Aug 3 '10 at 0:15
