## Font sets

When you apply a font in HTML, the actual font must be present on the visitor’s machine in order for the text to display as intended. Unfortunately, even the names of the standard fonts vary across different computing platforms.

Font sets solve this problem by allowing you to define a series of alternative font names, which the Web browser attempts to use to display the text. The browser will check each font listed in the set from left to right until it finds one present on the visitor’s computer. If it cannot find a match, the browser’s default font will be used.

Freeway provides the following default font sets: Courier, Georgia, Helvetica, Symbol, Times, Trebuchet MS, and Verdana. You can edit these, or define new font sets, using the Font Sets dialog box.

### To define a new font set

- Open the Edit menu and choose Font Sets...:

- In the Edit Font Sets dialog box click the New... button.
- Specify a name for the new set.

This name will appear in the HTML Font pop-up menu in the Inspector palette, and in the style menus.

- Choose a screen font.

The screen font will be used within Freeway to display text that has this font set applied to it. The font is automatically added to the list of font names below.

- Enter a list of additional font names you wish to use, separated by commas, in the order you wish them to be used:

- Click the OK button to save the font set.

### To edit a font set

- In the Edit Font Sets dialog box select the font set and click the Edit... button.

### To delete a font set

- In the Edit Font Sets dialog box select the font set and click the Delete button.
