HTML - Help With Fonts
Hi all,
This is my first post here. I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice on some goof looking fonts I can use in my HTML documents. I would like to hear some suggestions on fonts that look good when they are small like 8pt. I'm use Verdana and it looks good for the most part, but I see some websites where they have small bold fonts that look good. Some examples I was looking at were target.com, sears.com etc... I would appreciate any ideas. Thanks Similar Tutorialssoak digital did a great helping me! thanks! (sorry for the added post, i had a question but i answered it myself. D'OH!) Hi all.... Ive been having issues trying to get these two lists below to look the same.

I have no clue why it is happening... can anyone help?

I'm a FP/html/website builder noob. Is there a way to change all fonts/all backgrounds in FP2003/with html? e.g. Is there an easy way to change all fonts in headers, text areas, tables etc from one font to another. Thanks. Hi, I would like to know exactly how do I specify a font and a color for specific head line or titles in a text using HTML. For example what code should I use if I wan't an Italian Cursive, 16th Century font light gray color as a headline. I'm really not using Dreamweaver, I've done everything with HTML, but if you consider it's easier to use CSS, would you tell me how is it done? Thanks a lot. I made a email signature, i used dreamweaver to make it. Looks good when i preview it. But when i add it to email as signature it doesn't show colors or the correct font. I dunno why? Can someone look at source code of my html and see if i made a mistake. Thanx http://users.bigpond.net.au/sublimecreatures/email.html |
