Tips

  • You can type the name of a font not on your system in the field below the Available Fonts list, then click the left- facing arrow button to add that font to the Chosen Fonts list. You might choose to add a font when you want to use one you know is available on the systems of users who will be visiting your site. For example, if your site will attract many Mac OS X visitors , you can use some of the OS X system fonts, such as Lucida Grande, that are common on the Mac but not on Windows.

  • If you add specialized fonts to your own font lists, you must remember that most users out on the Internet may not have access to those fonts. If you're designing a site for a specific client base, such as a corporate intranet, and you know that all of the machines that will be viewing the site will have your specialized fonts available, then go for it.
