Introduction
Changing the font on your page can really brighten it up. In this step, you will be learning how to change the font
of the text on your web page.
Font Tag
To change the font, you need to put in the Font tag which looks like <FONT FACE="fontname">. The starting tag is
<FONT FACE="fontname"> and the closing tag is </FONT>. You will be replacing the text "fontname" in
the starting tag with the name of the font you wish to use. Here is an example using the font tag. This example
is using the "Courier" font.
|
index.html - Notepad |
....<BODY>
<FONT FACE="Courier"> Hello World! </FONT>
</BODY>....
|
|
|
My Homepage - Microsoft Internet Explorer |
Hello World!

Additional Fonts
If the font you put on your web page isn't on someone's computer, that means that when they view it, the font will not
show up and it will be the default font, Arial. However, you can put more than one font on a font tag, so if one doesn't
work it will try the other one. It's the same tag as before, except with two fontnames and a comma between them.
In the example below, it first will try to use a font called "Markings" and if it can't find that it will try to use a font
called "Times New Roman".
|
index.html - Notepad |
....<BODY>
<FONT FACE="Markings, Times New Roman">
Hello World! </FONT>
</BODY>....
|
|
|
My Homepage - Microsoft Internet Explorer |
Hello World!
