Default Font: Arial

[Darryl Abrahms]

How do I set my default font to Arial? Although it shows that it is typing
arial, it shows in the browser as Times New Roman. Then I have to change the
font to another style, change it back to Arial, and save it. Only then does
it display Arial in the browser.

You must actually assign the font to your text either via the font dialog or via CSS. The default
setting only applies to the font you see while editing in FP.

And to assign it ot the text with CSS, you would do this -

FORMAT | Style > List:HTML tags > body > Modify > Format > Font > Arial
(sheesh - this could be a little easier!) and choose other attributes as
desired.

This will put this in the head of the page -

<style>
<!--
body { font-family: Arial }
-->
</style>

which is known as an embedded stylesheet.

Now to make it REALLY proper, change it as follows -

<style>
<!--
body, p, td, th { font-family: Arial, helvetica, sans-serif; }
-->
</style>

This will cause that style to be applied to every smidge of text on your
page, whether in a table or not.

And if you have many pages in your web then make font changes in a
theme and assign all page to that theme.
