Default Content font in Weaver doesn't match the site - 11-29-2004 , 03:52 AM






Hello there,

when i'm working on my site content, DW doesn't show the font which
would eventually show up on the live site. This is troublesome because
of the positioning of the text.

Where or how do I change this ?

Thanks already

You can't really change this. The "Design View" in DW is not 100%
accurate in terms of WYSIWYG, more of a guide - its always best to test
pages in a real browser (f12).

Not all computers have your font and this will make the browser 'guess'
which fonts is the best one depending on the END USER computer. There is
also issues regarding the size convention you used as 'small' is not the
same as '10px' for every browser.

You always have to consider that on client side the browser may use
another font or another font-size. If your layout relies on a specific
font or size then it's not ready for the web.
