- Where is the font installed ? On your own computer ? On a server ? Which format ?
Which code are you using to use it ?
Myriad Pro condensed does not seem part of Fonts.com web fonts, but they do have Myriad Condensed. See

It is possible that a simpilar font be available at Google fonts : http://www.google.com/fonts

Font is installed on my computer and it isn’t available on google fonts
From what I see, Chrome displays perfectly the Myriad Web Pro Condensed that comes with Windows with this HTML code :
<span style="font-family: Myriad Web Pro Condensed;">Myriad Pro Condensed ?</span>In a web app label set to a web style with Myriad Web Pro Condensed only, it displays fine in all browsers, even if it seems the rendition of Internet Explorer appears somewhat bolder.
Of course, all that is in local, run in the IDE, as there is no certainty another version of the system or another OS will have that font installed. For instance, neither Windows XP, Linux or Mac OS X come with that particular font installed, so it will not display there.
It’s just me, but I would not use such font on the web. I would rather go for Arial Narrow, which at least I am assured to find on all versions of Windows and Mac OS X.
The idea to use a Google font is precisely to not depend on a local font that will most certainly not be installed on all machines. As far as I can see, Myriad Web Pro Condensed is just a very classic Sans Serif that could probably easily be replaced by Cabin Condensed. But once again, it’s just me…
