4. Theme Fonts

When you click the Text button, you may alter the fonts for the body text and the heading text. All of the fonts on your computer will be listed. While you can use any of them, if someone looking at your theme on the web doesn't have that font, Windows will replace it with a "standard" font. So it's usually better to stick with a "universal" font that most people will have.

These fonts ship with FrontPage, so they're pretty safe to use:

Arial
Arial Black
Arial Narrow
Arial Rounded MT Bold
Book Antiqua
Bookman Old Style
Brush Script MT Italic
Century Gothic
Century Schoolbook
Comic Sans MS
Courier New
Garamond
Georgia
Haettenschweiler
Impact
Times New Roman
Trebuchet MS
Verdana

A good idea is to specify "alternative" fonts - fonts that will be used in case the first font is not listed. To specify other fonts, list the fonts with commas in between them, like this:

Verdana, Arial, Helvetica

Verdana will be the main font used, but if the system doesn't have Verdana, it will know to look for Arial. If it doesn't have Arial, it will look for Helvetica.

When you are done picking your fonts, click OK and then save your theme. You may now click OK again to apply the theme to your web and to exit the Theme dialog box.
