Fonts on site

The only way to gurantee that your fonts display as you want them is to turn your text into an image file. (.jpg or .bmp etc.) or to 'embed' your design in something like Adobe's PDF format.

The font size is to a large degree in the end users control. Why? Well, some folks do not see so good and like larger fonts. Some folks run a 21' monitor and a resolution of 1600x1200. Larger fonts work better for them.

Maybe you design using the font called mygreatfont. What if the user does not havemygreatfont installed on their system? Where do they get it? What if the designer of the font wants money for it? Who pays for that?

I know how frustrating it all is but as a designer you have at least a zillion challenges when you design for theweb ;-O

When you code in HTML, use the font tag, ex:

text

Note that this method is deprecated (but can still be used), the current browsers accept style sheets, ex:

BODY {font-family: Arial, Times Roman;}

With both methods, you can include a list of fonts. The first one installed on the user's machine will be used, so make sure you include at least one common font.

More information about style sheets (CSS) is available on www.wdvl.com
