I'm trying to use Helvetica Neue Ultra Light but it doesn't seem to work. I know web safe fonts work on all browsers but i'm referring to Helvetica Neue Ultra Light not working in the application itself. It defaults to some other font. Is this something that will be fixed when it's out of Beta? ------------------------------- http://www.queenstownweddingphotographer.com |

It defaults to Helvetica Neue... .Style6{font-family: 'Helvetica Neue','Arial',sans-serif; font-size: 18px; } There's not much point in specifying a non web-safe font unless it is hosted and you link to it. There isn't much difference between Helvetica Neue and Helvetica Neue UltraLight. You would be better to specify font-weight if you want the font to appear lighter like this... .my-font-style {font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 200; } ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

He talks about the font not working in the EasyWeb application itself, not about not working on the published site. I for myself don't have Hevetica Neue Ultra Light installed on my mac, so I can't test this.

I don't know how he can tell. The difference is very subtle - just a matter of letter spacing is all I can see.

EasyWeb doesn't seem to like light fonts much. Here is a site I have on iWeb using Raleway font 100 weight for the title: http://www.kellynewland.com/ Here is a site I have on EasyWeb trying to use Raleway font 100 weight for the title: http://www.queenstownweddingphotographer.com/index.html For me there is quite a difference in the weight of the fonts and the overall feel of the page because of it. ------------------------------- http://www.queenstownweddingphotographer.com |

Quote: Here is a site I have on EasyWeb trying to use Raleway font 100 weight for the title There's no mention of font weight in the text stylesheet. .Style16{font-family: 'Raleway'; font-size: 28px; color: #FA9332; } I take it by "title" you mean the website name. You should really add this (and the rest of the page headings) using an HTML Snippet - <h1>Website Name</h1> - if you want success with the search engines. Then add this to the site wide head code box... h1 {font-family: 'Raleway'; font-size: 28px; color: #FA9332; font-weight: 100; } Also, when you specify a font - especially a non web safe one - you should list a fallback and the generic group like this... font-family: "Raleway", Verdana, sans-serif; ... since EasyWeb doesn't seem to do it for you. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Hi, The font I'm using is hosted by google fonts. I have the code for it in the site wide header thing. In EW I can't even use the light font. It simple won't type in. The font weight is on my computer and in google fonts but won't work in EW. It works in iWeb when I do everything the same way. I'd like EW to do that too at some stage. With the h1 tags I'm still confused. I think I need someone to explain it to me as though I'm a 2 year old. I tried to do it in iWeb and it looked like such a mess online compared to in IWeb I just couldn't use it. Really hoping EW comes up with some idiot proof way to do it. It must be a hard thing for them to do though since it is such an important and obvious thing to have in a website building tool. ------------------------------- http://www.queenstownweddingphotographer.com |

Headings were not at all easy to do in iWeb and I never bothered with them. They are really simple in EasyWeb. Paste the style into the site wide head code box... <style type="text/css"> h1 {font-family: 'Raleway'; font-size: 28px; color: #FA9332; font-weight: 100; } </style> Drag an HTML Snippet onto the page and enter this... <h1>Website Name</h1> Copy and paste to other pages or, better still, create a master page with the header and footer content before you start the site. Click "Apply", resize the snippet to suit and drag it into position. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Brilliant. I'll try that tomorrow. It's about 2:45am here in New Zealand. But like I said before, font weight 100 doesn't work. It defaults to a medium weight somehow. ------------------------------- http://www.queenstownweddingphotographer.com |
