Why do my font settings change when I preview/publish in Frontpag.

[Buzzin Phil]

I am a complete beginer in web design and am having trouble with my font
selection. I have used a Forntpage template to set out the main site and
changed the main settings to suit my needs. I have revised the font on all
pages to Ariel (fantasy) but when I preview in browser itnchanges back to
times New Roman. Can anyone explain this. Please note I do not understand
HTML programming.

Phil -

Strange but true, when you choose a "default font" in FP it only affects the
font that's displayed in normal/design mode --- it has nothing to do with what
will be displayed on your website. Bizarre, eh?

In order to do what you want to do, you must either select all text and then
choose a font in the font dialog box, or create some CSS that is applied to
all pages.

Incidentally, make sure you choose a common font that all users will have ---
a font will not display properly if it's not on the user's system.

HTH,
Craig
