Creating and applying font setsNormally, HTML text on a page appears in the Web browser using the default proportional font that is set in the browser preferences. You can have more control of the font that the browser uses by applying a font set to your text. When displaying text formatted with a font set, the Web browser attempts to display the text using the first font listed in the font set, then the second font in the set, and so on. If none of the fonts in the set are installed on the viewer's computer, the browser displays the text using its default font. The Type > Font menu lists all font sets available for the open page. Font sets saved with the GoLive application appear at the top of the menu by default. Font sets stored in the site project file appear only when their parent windows are open.
