 | Fonts are an important part of web design. You use them both in CSS and in images. But knowing how to use them well can be tricky. This week's newsletter explains how to change HTML fonts the right way, what web safe fonts are, and some examples of web safe font stacks that are good to use. | |
Learn How to Change HTML Fonts the Right Way
HTML fonts are a popular thing for designers to modify, but there are some issues you need to avoid. Specifically, you should use CSS instead of the <font> tag, and you should use web safe fonts in your font stacks.
| Web Safe Fonts - Why You Should Use Them
The beauty of fonts in web designs is that you don't have to define just one. You can use a font stack to define a list of fonts in the order you'd prefer them to be used. And as long as you include at least one web safe font in that list, your pages should display correctly. But how can you use web safe fonts if you don't know which fonts are safe? This list of web safe fonts will help.
| Examples of Good Web Safe Font Stacks
If you're looking for ideas for some good web safe font stacks then you have come to the right place. I have created a list of web safe font stacks made up of fonts that are fairly common on computers these days. If you use these font stacks or variations of them, you shouldn't have trouble with random odd fonts showing up on your web pages.

If you write content in non-English languages, then you probably have all the HTML codes that you use memorize. But even if you write in English, sometimes you might want to know how to add a diamond or heart or other special character to your text. Special characters or HTML codes let you do that. How important are they on the sites you build? Vote Now View Results
