Backup Font?
in [Dreamweaver]
|
From: Branden Durst on 20 Mar 2010 23:37 Hey Guys, So maybe this is a really easy one, but I can't seem to figure it out. I have a font that I am using for most of my webstie, but a lot of users probably won't have the font. What I'd like to do is provide a backup font in the situation where my defined font is not available. In other words, my defined font is Tw Cen MT, but if a visitor to the site doesn't have it, I'd like it to display Arial. Thanks in advance!

Just use Arial. It will save a lot of hassle with things looking strange in one font but perfect in another.

You can specify fonts using Style Sheets, but the two fonts won't be exactly the same, so things that line up nicely using one font may well look messy in the other. It's best to stick to the standard "web safe" fonts. In fact even using the standard web fonts can cause problems since the Mac substitutes Helvetica for Arial (unless you've got Mac Office installed) which isn't exactly the same.

I just had to go into page properties and set the default font. Thanks! |
