# Using Charis SIL Compact webfonts

The page demonstrates how to use the WOFF version of Charis SIL Compact for web pages, using local copies of the .woff files in this archive. For more information on this technique - and how to use the normal TrueType version as a web font - see Using SIL Fonts on Web Pages.

The body of this document is styled using an external stylesheet, with Charis SIL Compact set as the default font, and loaded directly as a WOFF file using the @font-face rule. If you're seeing a serif font here then it is working. Otherwise the text will be in a sans-serif or your browser default. Here is some italic, some bold text, some bold italic and back to regular. This technique should work only in Firefox 3.6+, Chrome 6, the IE9 beta, and in development versions of Safari.
