At 8 a.m. I could use FrontPage and have the font change when I
formatted it. I was not using CSS. Suddenly, at 10 a.m. I could not
highlight a font and change it. The font would appear to be changed
in "normal", and would appear to be changed in the html pane.
However, in preview and published, the font reverted to my default
font. I changed my default font to Times New Roman because that is
one that is a standard. I used Arial as my formatted font. And there
is no way to uninstall/reinstall Office that will get rid of all the
little bits of the program that stay on my computer. I tested that by
changing my default font to Comic, using Remove Programs through the
Control Panel, and reinstalling--and when I did a reinstall, the
default font was Comic. I know that Office does not install with a
default font style of Comic, so that spec had to have come from
something that remained on my computer after I uninstalled. Sigh.
This is so baffling. But I notice that others have had problems with
their font selections not working properly. I have been using
FrontPage for some time now. I did not have this problem with the
older versions. This just popped up with XP.
I do thank you for any help/ideas/suggestions.
Regards,
Judy
Here is a sample:
I typed it up with a default of Times New Roman, highlighed it,
formatted it to arial. The html looks like it would make it show up
as arial in preview but it does not. It shows up as TNR. When I
publish, it still shows up as TNR.
Here is the html from the html pane:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 1</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><font face="Arial" size="7">test for font face</font></p>
</body>
</html>
Here is the html from view/source after publishing:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252">
<title>test for font face</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><font face="Arial" size="7">test for font face</font></p>
</body>
</html>
I have seen others ask this question so this is not an isolated
glitch.
