Using Font Alternatives

The <font> tag is used to display your text in a specific style. If your visitor doesn't have the font you specify on their computer, the font will be displayed in the users default font setting. To make sure your pages are being viewed as you intended, set up alternative fonts.

<FONT face="Verdana,Helvetica,Arial">Your Text</FONT>

This will tell the browser to display your text in "Verdana," but if your visitor doesn't have "Verdana" to display your text in "Helvetica" and so on.

In addition, you can add attributes within your font tag to display your text at a specific size and color as well. There's no need to create separate tags.

<FONT face="Verdana,Helvetica" size="2" color="#FF0000"> Your Text</FONT>
