Fonts in FrontPage 2002

T

Tam

My website does not display fonts in the same color as my
Frontpage file displays them.

I have a web page with "light colored background" and
black text. When I view the site using aol.com, they do
not display the colors correctly (show them as blue). On
a different computer with a different isp, the fonts show
up as blue instead of black. My blue fonts display
as "lilac".

How can I correct this?
 
?

You can't correct AOL - aol is not the internet, their colors are different.

As far as other isp's go...it has nothing to do with ISPs it has to do with Gamma settings on different monitors. Setting gamma correctly will definitely make you crazy...trust me.

If you want to delve into this lemme know I'll send you some links.

Otay...but beware...make sure you have time to experiment and your eyes are not tired!

There's lots more too. And some of the above are print oriented but the principles are same.

You can also check out Praxisoft.com for a free WiziWYG Monitor Gamma Setting thingie.

Gamma is a complicated affair, and you will probably never get it perfect. Moreover, you will have NO control over how your viewers monitors are set.

But getting your machine set correctly will work wonders on your graphics.

Good luck! :) --- this can be a real adventure into the "darkside" !

Looks fine to me. font is black on pastel backgrounds. It's a tad bit hard
to read though - I'm getting it as a somewhat condensed font. Kind of makes
it run together but it could just be me.

Not just you, the condensed font is hard to read...jaggy.
