Hey do any of you guys know how to change the font within a sertain set of font tags, to a font that is not a windows supplied font, such as one I got off of a site on the internet?

Thanks guys.

not quite sure what you mean, do you mean that you want your page font to be one that you have downloaded and you want everyone else to see it as well. Or do you mean that you need to know how to change the font from say arial to your new font?

In any case using your own fonts on your webpage is almost completely out of the question as everyone who visits your page would need to download and install the font and no one will. (almost no one)

But if you still are going to do that you can change your font on your page once it is installed on your computer by using the following, for this example we will call your downloaded font coolfont.


<font face="coolfont"> YOUR TEXT HERE </font>


or you could set it as the base font for your page and then you don't have to change the font face.


<basefont face="coolfont">


Actually now that I think of it I remember that there was something Microsoft introduced a while ago which enabled you to run your font from the server I think,
if you want to follow that up search the old forum for Mhtml and you can find a post I made when I found out about it.

I know how to change the font, I was talking about embding a font into my HTML page, so that even if the user dosn't have that font installed they could still see it. The program you where refering to is called WEFT and they just released a new version 3.
thank you for your post, but I think thta I am just going to use images. I was only going to use a fancy letter for the start of some stories on my page.

Thank you.
