Applying font sets

You can apply a font set to text on your Web page. A font set consists of a list of one or more fonts. When displaying text formatted with a font set, the viewer's Web browser attempts to display the text in the first font in the set, second in 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 current session. Global font sets appear in the menu by default, while font sets used in individual pages or stored in the site window appear only when their parent windows are open.

To apply a font set to text:

1 Drag to select the text that you want to format.

2 Choose a font set from the Type > Font menu.

In the Type > Font menu, global font sets and font sets from open pages are listed below the first separator. Font sets from open site windows are listed below the second separator.

To add or edit a font set:

1 Choose Type > Font > Edit Font Sets.

2 Do one of the following:

To add a global font set that you can use in any page, choose Default Font Sets from the pop-up menu in the upper left corner of the Font Sets dialog box (Windows) or click the Default icon in the leftmost pane of the Font Set Editor dialog box (Mac OS).

To add a font set to use on the current page only, choose Page Font Sets from the pop-up menu in the upper left corner of the Font Sets dialog box (Windows) or click the Page icon in the leftmost pane of the Font Set Editor dialog box (Mac OS).

3 Click New below the Font Sets list to add a new font set to the list.

4 Do one of the following to add a new font to the font set that you've just created:

If you know the font isn't installed on your system, enter the name of the font in the Font Names list.

If the font is installed on your system, click New below the Font Names list, and choose a font from the pop-up menu below the list.

Adobe GoLive names the font set using the name of the first font in the set. To change the name of the font set, you need to first add the font to the Fontsets tab of a site window and then change the name of the font using the Font Set Inspector. For information on using the Font Set Inspector, see Using site font sets.

5 To add another font to the font set, click New below the Font Names list. Then enter the name of the font in the Font Names list, or choose a font from the pop-up menu below the list. Repeat this step until you have added all desired fonts to the font set.

6 To change a font within a font set, select the font that you want to edit in the Font Names list. Then edit the name of the font, or choose a new font from the pop-up menu below the list.

If you change the first font in a font set, the font set is renamed accordingly in the Font Sets list.

7 To delete a font from a font set, select the font that you want to delete in the Font Names list, and click Delete.

8 Click OK.
