Hello,
I am using MSFP 02 and would like to ask a few questions.
1. can you make your website open in a specifc window size, like a flash site?
2. If not what size should I have my site set to..so it can be seen like I
created it?
3.I'm using bankgothic as my font and it does not seem to loaded on many
system. Is there a way to lock or embed my font? I have heard of WEFT and
tried it but WEFT did not seem to work. Is there an another option? Is there
a close match to this font that many users would have installed?
Thank you for your time in answering my ?????'s

Yes - it's generally considered rude to do this, since you do not reset my
favorite browser dimensions back when I leave your site. Also, what if you
set it to a site larger than my screen? Most people just close the site and
leave, I think.

Look at your expected visitors and evaluate what size their BROWSER VIEWPORT
is (it's not really screen size you need to worry about at all). That's the
size you want to use as your optimal design width/height. But - nothing you
can do will ensure that it will look the way it did when you created it
other than to make it into a PDF file. Really. Don't waste another minute
worrying about it. I will come to your site and double the size of my text
display, and your layout will probably go right out the window.

No - there is no practically reliable way to do this. Again, this is the
WEB - it's not print. If you want that kind of control, just mail people a
brochure.

Regarding fonts: It's best to stick with Arial, Times New roman, or Verdana.
Just about everyone will have these fonts. Otherwise, if you use a font that
the viewer does not have, then his browser will substitute something else.
If you want to use a fancy font for a title or something like that, make an
image of it and use the image.
