Font style

I know this has been asked many times probably, but here it is again.

can the font style I use in wordperfect be transfered to here when I post in a group?

If not,

Is there a way to change the font here?

all this technical stuff is such a different language to me.

any help would be appreciated.

Thank You
A friend

It can, in the custom css screen, but if the viewer does not have that font on their computer they will not be able to see it the way you do.

Use the font styles in the Skin Editor or try and put in your own via the Custom CSS box. Haven't done that. Ask "mbotos".

Yes, it "almost" can.

**IF** the font that you're using in WP is a TrueType font, **AND** the viewing computer has that same TrueType font available ( installed ) then I believe you can reference that exact TrueType font name in the [font face="whatever"] [/font] tag pair and it should display. AFAIK - if it is not available the browser will display it's default as specified.

NOTE: the FONT HTML tag is depreciated in favor of CSS coding on a website, but posting to a message in a group shouldn't be an issue ... and of course you'd have to replace the square brackets seen above with the less than' and 'greater than' carets appropriately.

Testof8th and Audrey,

It is VERY POSSIBLE to get your favorite font or something close to it into your profile through the style sheet (Custom CSS). The trick is to to code the style sheet for want of a better word intelligently. Simply provide alternatives.

The body tag in my profile's style sheet includes several choices of font:

body {font-family: georgia, book antiqua, serif; etc....

If a user does mot have georgia, the next font on the list is book antiqua. If a user does not have either georgia or book antiqua, then the style sheet defaults to standard serif. I hope this helps.

The whole idea behind the skinner wad to make it easier. When you start adding custom fonts, you need to know the code as you explained above, but I think when the answers start to get complicated, people only get more confused.
