OK, How Do I Use Different Fonts In a Webpage?

In a nutshell, to make text on your webpage use a different font, you use the <FONT> tag, combined with the FACE attribute. To stop using the font, you close the FONT tag with </FONT>.

For example, to 'force' use of the Arial font, use this tag:

<FONT FACE="arial">

When you want to stop using the Arial font, use this tag:

</FONT>.

Be sure to read the rest of the tips in this category about font use before you start using a bunch of wild and crazy fonts on your webpage. If you use a font that your webpage viewers don't have, chances are that the page will be rendered in the default font (usually Times New Roman).
