Format pages and text



Changes fonts




  1. In front of the words "Dogs Home Page, " insert a Font tag
    with the attribute FACE="arial":

    FONT FACE="arial" Dogs Home Page /FONT

  2. After the words, close the FONT tag:

    FONT PACE="arial" Dogs Home Page /FONT

Tip: Think of an attribute as a sub-instruction to the browser. In this
case, the FONT tag tells the browser that text will be changed, and the FACE attribute
tells it how to change, specifying the Arial typeface.

  1. View the page in the browser. Click the browser's Refresh button.


Web fonts


When text is viewed on a computer, only fonts installed on the
computer can be seen. For instance, if someone create a psge
that specified the Tekton font, almost no one viewing it would
see it in Tekton because very few computers have that font
installed. Computers without Tekton would display text in the
default font: Times New Roman.

All Windows computers have the Arial font installed.
Windows 95 and later computers have Verdana. Macintoshes
have Helvetica, the font that Arial is based upon.
directory where it's located is typed into a browser.

To cover all bases, specify multiple fonts:


FONT FACE ="verdana,arial,helvetica"




Tip: if a page doesn't supped to - or nothing shows up
at all - check the HTML code you've written. You might have left out
tells it a quote or made some other small mistake. Something that seems
insignificant can wreck a page: ( " )
