writing navigation bar using own font

At present I use iWeb for website www.victorianpine.com. I am trying out the 'ever web' demo as a replacement. So far I am struggling with the navigation bar. I like to use a non web friendly font 'quicksand' and then save as image so it appears as correct font on all computers but in everweb if I 'export text as image' I can no longer use text as hyperlink. Any help would be much appreciated. |

I found these Qicksand fonts : http://www.1001fonts.com/quicksand-font.html http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/quicksand http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Quicksand They look the same to me. If you use the Google font, EW will create a link to the webfont and the webpage will use the font to format the text. Then there's no need to make pictures of text. If that is not possible, you can still have links with the text to image solution. Instead of the text, select the textbox and make it a hyperlink. |

It turns out that you do not have to download Googles font. If Quicksand is installed, EW sees that and based on this file in EW : /Applications/EverWeb.app/Contents/Resources/googlefonts.txt it creates the link to the Google font. Perhaps slight differences between the fonts are noticeable. But your visitor will not see them. |

Hello Jumbo T. & thank you for your reply. I assumed that if a user does not have a font installed then it would display as default font on their computer (helvetica or similar) I should say I am only using a demo and have not published and when I do I would use my own hosting and not ever web's. Not sure if this makes a difference. |

I see what you mean by making the text box a hyperlink but I would have to do this individually for each page to be linked to. In iWeb it was quite simple, after making navigation bar you could click on shadow (graphic inspector) & this would save text as image. |
