Offer alternative fonts

font-family: 'Trebuchet ms', Arial, Sans-Serif;

A CSS attribute I use myself.

Depends on what you mean by "choose". They'll probably get some local
default, according to their own computer's settings.

You could also try reading the thread "Typeface selection in CSS" from a
couple of days ago. In practical terms, you can reliably choose between
serif, sans-serif and monospace fonts, but not much more detail than
that.


>and is there a way i can get my font onto there computer?

Yes, but it's lumpy and barely usable. It's very M$oft-specific, IE only
(AFAIK), is fussy about which fonts it works with and is generally a
pain to use. Try searching for "WEFT" (on the M$oft site). It's rare
that you can find a freeware font that it's technically capable of
working with, let alone licensable for. Proper commercial fonts are
often more reliable, but are less likely to permit this sort of use by
their licenses.

Ya ya.. I know. Just don't have time to re-write every piece of code I've ever
written. Any hoo it works with only 1 (one) CSS error. :(

Hi Gufus, what can I say? I know! I will dash out and take a
couple of pics for you of the spring around my joint... hang on...

Right, now I will add these to some I took last spring (and a few
others). And where is that jAlbum thing? I would use Boji's but
this way I can do all auto instead of one at a time...

Here we go:

http://dorayme.myjalbum.net/flowers/

The only pic, imo, worth rather more than two bob is number 40,
it is the only one I took on my film Nikon and printed in
darkroom according to how I liked. The rest are basically an
illustration of the increasing decadence of my photography,
pleasant enough though. I have not yet fiddled with the html or
css templates in this software, I have taken the Travis Option,
just use the thing and be damned. You do have a point Travis, I
am not deaf to this.

God! I better pick another template if I am going to be this lazy
(Those frilly navigation arrows! And hey, Frames! Welcome,
Frames, to my life again - never thought they would come by
again).

Thank you... vcool

Just made my day. I got some cool pics, just give me some time. It's pretty
funny.
