The How to change a Font for your page

To create a font you need to select one that you know that you have! I use a program called "Font Lister". It allows me to view all the fonts on my system at a glance. I got it at
File Pile

Remember not all browsers will send the font that you want to select, so the viewer will see the text as whatever they have set to default. Remember not to set the font size to no more than size "4" for most of the content. Not everyone has large screen monitors. So when you use larger font sizes it takes up thier whole screen. You may use size "6" or "7" for your title if you like.

If you want to see your font in a bigger size, then go to internet preferences in your browser and hunt down the option that says "font" and that is where you can set font sizes for your screen.

Fonts for webpage making:
<font face="?">
This sets the typestyle to be used, if the browser recognizes the tag. The argument can be a list of font names, with the the availability of the fonts being the determining factor.
Example:
<font face="Mural Script, Times Roman, System">
This should be one of the three fonts noted in the example above. This will depend on what fonts your system displays.

Now, you should see one of the three fonts out of the example I laid out there for you.

I suggest using at least 3 different types of font when using the font face tags. That way you have a chance of 3 that the viewer will have one particular font. And put the font that you want to see your page in as the first one in the list. Then add the other 2 fonts that your page looks ok in. Also, not all fonts will be viewed at the same size. So you may want to check your page first using each individual font to see which fonts look best.
