Does Anyone Know

Would anyone know what javascript I should use to allow users who are using various web browsers (netscape, ie, mozilla) to view my web pages with the correct font and style? I’m new at this so any help would be greatly appreciated. FYI, I am using XHTML with CSS.

Thanks in advance,

nicomen

@KorMay 06.2004 — The safest way is to use "universal" font families and to double them with other similar families. Thus the CSS:

font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

means that browser should search for Arial first in OS installed fonts. If there is no Arial, should try Helvetica. If there is no Helvetica either, should use any other sans serifed font family.

The most used font family combination (with great chances to be found as default installed in almost all the computers) are:

Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

"Times New Roman", Times, serif;

"Courier New", Courier, mono;

Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;

You must know also that the user can overule with his own font combination if he wants to, and there is no way to stop him doing that

If you want to use special fonts (for logos or slogans) better build them as pictures (GIF, JPG, PNG) with a graphical application (Photoshop for instance).

@nicomenauthorMay 06.2004 — Well, yes, I've done that, but for special fonts....and layout I am told that there is a javascript that I can put into my html doc so that it is seen properly.

Thanks anyway....

Just to avoid that maybe more people report jacobkiper's post (and the Mods go mad ?): I already reported it.

[B]Please do inform if you see a post of his along the same lines, I would love to bann him/her. [/B][/QUOTE]I surely will (hate stuff like that being posted), but he/she just hung around for a short while and disappeared again.

But (serious question): Is one post like that not reason enough?

Please don't leave us alone. I already sent my two cents!

Seriously: move your @$$ from here, if you do not have different things to tell us or to ask than in your previous post. And just to let you know: I am not an official here, but somebody whom you disturbed.
