  • Fonts

    Its very common for new webmasters to use funky fonts types and large sizes for their websites, however it must be kept in mind that it is not neccesary that the font you use on your website will be available in the visitors PC as well, in that case he will only be show n the default font. Si its better to use standard fonts and also to keep them in a decent size, a good style would be 10 pt Tahoma. A font should neither be awkwardly big nor irritatingly small. Stick to these basics for a good page feel.

    What are standard fonts? The ones which are preinstalled with Microsoft Frontpage?

      Re: Fonts

      The only fonts that I used for live text in website are Arial, Hevetica, Verdana, Times New Roman, Times, Courier, Geneva. (I consider these as standard).

      If I want a different font-face other than those mentioned above, then I will use graphical image of the text instead.

      Note that when you code, you can put ...

      Code:
      <body style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif">
      That means that if the user doesn't have Geneva, the browser will use Arial. If the user doesn't have Arial, then the browser will use Helvetica. And if the user has neither of these, then browser will use the default san-serif.

      You can learn more about difference between live text and graphic text here.

      To answer your question of which are the standard fonts. See the screen shot of the Dreamweaver Page Properties dialog in this font-family tutorial. What you see listed there are your standard fonts.

              Yep, I find it all too often that websites have strange fonts and then I don't have them so the whole site is messed up.

              But providing css code where there are several fonts listed is a good thing to do, even if you are using a "standard" font. That way you provide several options for the browser to try, limiting the chance of a strange unknown default font of some users computer being used to display your webpage possibly creating a hard to read site.
