Daisy Analysis Services - Web Sites - Fonts

Back

Always choose a simple font for your page, that will be available on nearly all of the computers, that will access the Web Site.

This Web Site is written in Arial, which is also a Windows TrueType font. (TrueType fonts are easily scaleable to any size.)

Others you might use are :-

  • Arial
  • Century
  • Comic Sans MS
  • Garamond
  • Georgia
  • Lucida Sans Unicode
  • Microsoft Sans Serif
  • Palatino Linotype
  • Tahoma
  • Times New Roman
  • Trebuchet
  • Verdana
Choose sizes, so that the Web Page does not look cluttered.

Never choose a font for your Web Site, that is not a Windows True Type font, that is not commonly used and preferably delivered with Windows 95, 98 or NT.

You will notice here there are no references to Mac's. They are irrelevant!

One word of warning about fonts!

Netscape has a bug when tables are used in Web Pages, which means that each cell must have the font specified!

The best reason I know for not using their product and sticking with M$!

Note that BodgeIt! controls many of the fonts in important parts of your Web Site, such as the titles and menus.

So if you want consistency and the ability to change them at the CEO's unreasonable whim, you have control!
