I want to use BradleyHand ITC font

[Howard]

I would very much like to use BradleyHand ITC in my website. For a lot of
folks that isn't a problem, but for some they will view it in the default
font for publisher. Is there a way to define a different default font for
those machines that don't have BradleyHand ITC? There are a few "web" fonts
I wouldn't mind having as a substitute if the person didn't see it in
BradleyHand ITC. I guess in other words is there a way to define two
different fonts to be used?

Thanks and I'm using Publisher 2000

You either need to use an universal font or change the part where Bradley Hand is
used into an image. These are the fonts installed with the Internet Explorer 5 (6
isn't listed here). The Internet Explorer usually defaults to a generic font.

...and that was the question. If someone has BHITC on their computers it will
display the way I want it to. Most folks with Photoshop have it. However,
if they don't, is there a way to change the generic default to one of the
other fonts that IE uses?

It's a hard question to phrase, but I think if you read it carefully you
will understand what I am poorly trying to convey.

Thanks

If your viewers are using the Explorer, then any font that is generic to the Explorer
will view correctly. I am not sure how what you want works, maybe some code?

Thanks Mary, I shall give it a try. Unforunately, I am married to
BradleyHand ITC. I wouldn't mind Lucinda Script as a second and I think IE
uses that, so if I could have BHITC show first and Lucinda second I would be
happy.

Have a great night,
Howard

Does the entire site have to be in that font or just a small portion of it?

You can certainly do what you want but you're going to have to take a
look at your markup and not let your program do all the work for you.
Here's the coding:
body { font-family: BradleyHand, Lucinda script, arial, sans-serif; }

Put that in your html. Make sure you use the EXACT names of the fonts
you want or it won't work. End up with an alternate font that everyone
will have (choose serif or sans-serif) as the final choice.

You can do many things with your webpage but you have to get under the
hood, so to speak. If you expect Publisher or FrontPage or any WYSIWYG
program to make your webpage, it's going to be generic and full of
errors and bloated markup. There are a number of free programs that you
can use to make web pages.

Here is an absolutely fabulous resource for all basic (and not so basic)
HTML and CSS questions (and it's NOT just for kids!):

Hope this helps!

Thank you Erika,

That's exactly what I needed. I'll also check out the link. My site is for
my photography and I had hoped to never have to do my own web page, but
paying someone didn't work out very well. I'd rather spend my time shooting
and processing

Hugs right back at cha

Hi JoAnn,
I would like the entire site to be in BHITC. My business logo is in the
same font and I really like it. I tried turning my text into graphics by
inserting a plank picture frame behind the text, etc. as explained in one of
the help pages, but that doesn't seem to work and you can't insert a black
picture using 2000 like you can in 2003. I switched back to 2000 after
finding 2003 loads pages way too slow and adds visible place holders.

I think Erika has pointed me in a good direction for now. The remark about
getting under the hood is probably right, but I was hoping not to get my
hands dirty

Bests,
Howard

P.S. Take a peek at my site, passmanpix.com, if you have a minute and
BradleyHand ITC. The font just works.

You're welcome. Do you have a site up that we could look at?

Hey Howard, Visited your site. Looks great. One suggestion, the red text does not
show up well on the index page, might want to change the color and or the font. Look

O.K. you can critic the site or the photography, but not both

It's pretty much done and I like the looks if you have BHITC. It's probably
obvious I like simple, clean looks.

Be nice.

Your website is excellent! It is clean and not cluttered. Very elegant!
Very professional looking!

The photos are very lovely also. Some of them look like paintings (the
farm).

 

[Howard]

Thanks Erika,

I'm very happy with the main page, pretty happy with the individual gallery
pages, semi happy with the picture pages and not thrilled with the main
"Galleries" page. It's a work in progress

Glad you liked some of the images. That's the part I love doing.

Thanks for your help again. As soon as time permits I will be working on
both of the suggestions. Have a wonderful weekend!

Good Morning Mary,
I will try a few more colors on my little warning. I want to stay with the
BHITC as far as the font. Boy, am I single minded or what

If I had a clue of what I was doing I might add a little bit of graphics
especially to the "Galleries" page, but I don't so it will have to wait for
an inspiration.

Have a great weekend!

Howard

Howard! KEEP IT SIMPLE! That is why it's so elegant. DON'T clutter it up
with a lot of crap!
