When using three of the Google font families (Ubunto, Open Sans, & Lato, for example) I'm unable to see any difference between the Light and the Regular options for these fonts in EverWeb—both on the EW page and in the Safari preview. Tried this in iWeb and Light and Regular clearly looked different. Having this differentiation seems important since EverWeb (as well as iWeb) has a tendency to make most fonts look thicker and clunkier. For this reason, having the ability to use the Light font option would be really useful. |

If you are going to use anything other than the regular font weight you would have to specify these in the head code in this…<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:700italic,400,300' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>The above loads Open Sans in bold italic, regular and light. Go visit Google Fonts, check off the ones you require, copy the code and paste it into the Head Code box - Site Wide or Page depending on your requirements. Since the fonts are hosted on the Google server, you won't get the true view until you look at the page in the browser. iWeb can't handle Google fonts unless you add the above code post publishing or use a javascript hack. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!
