Why doesn't this font family work in Chome, Safari, Opera and IE < 9 but works in Firefox and IE9?

This works fine in Firefox and IE9

font-family: "Arial Rounded MT", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

But not in Chrome, Safari, IE 8 & 7 and Opera. In those browsers it defaults to just Arial.

Is there a way to use the arial rounded mt font in those browsers?

Note: I am testing this on the same computer which has the arial rounded mt font installed.

If you're going to use un-web friendly fonts then other users who visit your website will not see the fonts unless they are installed on their computer as well.

You are best by looking into using either...

Font Face

Or

Cufon

...as these will allow all visitors to your website to see your custom fonts.

Try using it's postscript name - though it's off spec, some browsers will use it anyway (I know for sure Safari does, not sure about the others).

In this case, the ps name is ArialRoundedMTBold, so try:

font-family: ArialRoundedMTBold, "Arial Rounded MT Bold", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
