Fonts
Rendering of fonts on the internet is, like colors, a bit of hit or miss. The only way to be sure that the
customer’s system will render your carefully chosen style font correctly is to display it as an image.
But this should be done sparingly because this will greatly increase download time and will be useless in
telling the search engines what your site is about.
For the content of a web page, you should choose a font from the web safe range which most operating
systems will recognize.
When writing web pages web developers often do not specify one particular font, but rather offer the
customer’s system a range, coding the style something like: “Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif”. This tells the
browser to use the Arial font first, if possible, failing that, then use the Helvetica font, and if all else
fails what ever it can as long as it is sans-serif font.
