| Can you provide for the adding of non-web safe fonts to a web site, i.e. the capability of adding the font file to the Assets (or other) folder and linking text to it. | |

We may handle that automatically for you if you select a non web safe font. However that will come in a later version.

| Convert text to image might be a good work around. At least for selective font customization. | |

Your question is kind of answered in this topic... http://ragesw.net/easyweb-beta/viewtopic.php?f=4...t=8 Pauls' reference to a fallback font comes from the fact the font-family property can hold several font names as a fallback to ensure maximum compatibility between browsers/operating systems. If the viewers system doesn't support the first font, it tries the next font. Normally you would specify the font you want, then a fallback and then the generic group like this... font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, sans-serif; Google now hosts over 600 fonts and its just a question of using the (soon to appear I hope) EasyWeb head code injection feature to add this code to the page <head>... <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Happy+Monkey' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'> Go to this page... http://www.google.com/webfonts# select your font and then click the "Quick-use" button. Its very quick and simple and should be easily understood by beginners given clear instructions in the Help file/Software Instructions Manual. The EasyWeb assets folder will also allow us to host fonts from places like Font Squirrel on our own server. Converting fonts to images is really not necessary with such a huge choice of hosted fonts available and negatively impacts page download time. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!
