Helvetica Neue is not web safe so, when you specify it in EasyWeb, the application overcomes the user's lack of knowledge by providing a substitute and the generic group which is the correct thing to do.

Here's what appears in the stylesheet when Helvetica Neue is specified...

.StyleNumber{font-family: 'Helvetica Neue','Arial',sans-serif;
font-size: 15px;


Arial is specified as the nearest fallback and then the generic group - sans-serif.

Similarly, if you specified Monaco, EasyWeb will produce this in the CSS...

.StyleNumber{font-family: 'Monaco','Courier New',monospace;
font-size: 15px;}


... so that the font will fallback to the web safe Courier New and then the generic group - monospace - in the browser.

You can also use the variations regular (default), italic, bold and bold italic. In cases like this EasyWeb adds the font-weight attribute to the styles...

.Style35{font-family: 'Helvetica Neue','Arial',sans-serif;
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: bold;
}


You can use Neue Helvetica on a website, but you will need to purchase it...

... install it on your Mac, reference it in the HTML doc head and host the files on your own server.
