font problem on website
|
Hi all,
I am creating a website and have used the font Impact. I done this by setting a style10 in css and used the code font: Impact;. It shows ok in dreamweaver 8 but but when i click to check site in web browser (IE 7) the text doesnt show in impact just the a default font.
Anyone know why? i cannot see any errors in my css code or the way i have called the css style10 in the body of the website.
thank you

Possibly your font declaration is too short, try font-family: impact;
Generally speaking it's not recommended to use anything outside the default web fonts (arial/helvetica,verdana,times,etc).

Longplay makes an important point - its not recommended to use anything other than the few standard ones.
The reason is that even if you get your site working ok, most people will see the default font not impact - people will only see it in impact if that font is installed on their machine. If they dont have it installed then they get a default font.
