Please can anyone tell me how to write the tags for an alternative font to be used, if the one I specify in the "font=my chosen font" tag is not availible on the viewers pc, I would like to specify another similer font before it displys the default browser font. Im sure I saw how to do this somewere before but can't now find it.
Thanks

I've always used pretty basic fonts, like Arial, so I've never tried it, but I think it's done like this:
[font face="firstchoice,secondchoice,thirdchoice"]

for future reference concerning anything html-- just type in your questions at a search engine.

"change font with html" or "how do i change font with html" or "image tag with html" and so forth.
