Q: I would like to use Yuanti SC font for my web development project. However, my developer is not able to use .ttc file that I have extracted from the font library and .ttf, .otf .woff formats are not available anywhere on the web.
I would like to use Yuanti SC font for my web development project. However, my developer is not able to use .ttc file that I have extracted from the font library and .ttf, .otf .woff formats are not available anywhere on the web. Please, let me know how I can use this font for my project.
Thank you,

Unless the site you're developing is for the Asian market, I'm not sure why you want to use this particular font. The basic alphabet, numerical and standard punctuation glyphs have sans serif, Roman characters, but the rest is thousands of Kanji characters. While you can serve up .ttf and .otf fonts as web fonts, it would be very unusual to use one so large. Pages should load quickly, and 78 MB worth of faces to download for those with slow Internet connections is not quick.
I would pick a different sans serif font. There are literally thousands that look similar, or nearly identical to Yuanti.
131 free, high quality sans serif fonts to pick from here. I'm sure you can find one you'd like.
