Font problems/

[Guest]

I used EUROSTYLE as the font for my wife's web. It's not available on all
browsers and I don't want to go to the trouble of embedding. Is it possible
to reformat the entire web with a more common font, or do I have to do each
page individually.
Thanks very much.

You can use find and replace in HTML in the whole site. e.g. find eurostyle
and replace with Times (or whatever).

Better to use CSS ... not font tags.

Why is it better to use CSS instead of font tags, the browser app or site visitor doesn't care one
way or the other?

Not to start a long thread on this, but as long as browser continue to support font tags, I will
continue to use them 99% of the time, as I have yet to see a real compelling reason/benefit for a
site visitor to switch to them 100%

You'd use CSS because it allows you to globally control your site from one
page without having to change font tags on multiple pages. It's like using
include pages.

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

But I or anyone can do that via ASP or any server-side scripting without using CSS, so what the
benefit?

The benefit is that it's client-side so you don't need the overhead of
server-side script and it's portable to any web server, such as ones that
don't support ASP.
