C-DAC GIST UNICODE WEB FONTS and CSS
FONTS FOR INDIAN LANGUAGES

Getting Started

This guide explains how to use the CDAC GIST Fonts to add fonts to your web pages. You don't need to do any programming all you have to do is add a special stylesheet link to your HTML document, then refer to the font in a CSS style.

A quick example

<html>
 
<head>
   
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://gisttransserver.in/Fonts/css/cdac-gist-fonts.css">
   
<style>
      body
{
       
font-family: 'gist_hindi_font', serif;
       
font-size: 48px;
     
}
   
</style>
 
</head>
 
<body>
   
<div>सी-डैक जिस्ट हिंदी फ़ॉन्ट</div>
 
</body>
</html>

Overview

You can start using the CDAC GIST Fonts CSS in just two steps:

  1. Add a stylesheet link to request the desired web font(s):
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://gisttransserver.in/Fonts/css/cdac-gist-fonts.css"">
  2. Style an element with the requested web font, either in a stylesheet:
    CSS selector {
      font-family: '
    Font Name', serif;
    }
    or with an inline style on the element itself:
    <div style="font-family: 'Font Name', serif;">Your text</div>

Note: When specifying a web font in a CSS style, always list at least one fallback web-safe font in order to avoid unexpected behaviors. In particular, add a CSS generic font name like serif or sans-serif to the end of the list, so the browser can fall back to its default fonts if need be.
