Font changing in Preview

[Roger Bradley]

Hi everyone
I'm relatively new to Frontpage. I'm currently getting on
well, thanks to the Microsoft books Front Page Inside Out
and Front Page Step by Step. My web site is coming along
great and I'm making good progress.
I've set the default font to Century Gothic and this
displays no problem in all my pages and page elements in
Normal-edit-view.
However, when I preview a page, either in the preview
window or browser, the text between the top and bottom
shared borders changes to, what looks like, Times New
Roman. The text in the shared borders remains as I want
it - Century Gothic. So I assume that this is a pointer
to the solution of the problem. But I cannot find
anything in either book that seems to refer to the
problem.
Should I be using CSS? A template? Or is it something
else?
If anyone can provide the answer I'd appreciate it.
Roger

Did you set the default font by choosing Page Options
from the Tools menu, and then clicking the Default Font
tab? If so, this only affects the font that the FrontPage
editor uses. It has no effect on your HTML, and therefore
no effect on Preview mode or browser displays.

For instructions on using CSS to override fonts for an
entire Web site, browse:

BTW, do you understand that the Century Gothic font will
only appear if the Web visitor has that font installed on
their local system? Because of this, you may want to
specify a list of fonts in preferred order, such as:

font-family: Century Gothic, Verdana, sans-serif;
