Chapter 5: Extended Fonts and
Text Color
Extended
Fonts...
The newest version of many browsers supports extended
fonts, in which you can choose to have the document fonts
be other than the normal one. This is accomplished by
adding the FACE="font_name" attribute to
the <FONT> tag. The most commonly
supported fonts are Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Impact,
Comic Sans MS, and a few others. It is not recommended to
make your page font dependent, because the older versions
of many browsers don't yet support this feature.
Example of Extended Fonts...
<font size=+2
face="Verdana">Verdana</font>
Verdana
<font size=+2
face="Arial">Arial</font>
Arial
<font size=+2
face="Helvetica">Helvetica</font>
Helvectica
<font size=+2
face="Impact">Impact</font>
Impact
<font size=+2 face="Comic Sans
MS">Comic Sans
MS</font>
Comic Sans MS
Note: If you don't see one or more of the above fonts,
then your browser probably doesn't support the extended
fonts.
Text Color...
You can change the color of the text by setting the
COLOR="font_color" attribute in the
<FONT> tag. The Color is usually set
by using the hexadecimal system (#000000 black to #FFFFFF
white) but can also be set in newer browsers by using the
simple word of the color. (Red for Red, Blue for Blue,
etc.)
Example of Text Color...
<font color="Blue">Hey I'm
Blue!</font>
Hey
I'm blue!
<font size=+2 face="Impact"
color="Green">Hey I'm green and in Impact
Font!</font>
Hey I'm green and in Impact
Font!
<font color="Red">Hey I'm
red!</font>
Hey I'm
red!
Your own HTML
page...
Add the following to your HTML page ("Home.htm"): (the blue
text is what to add)
<html>
<head><title>My Home
Page</title></head>
<body background="bgnd.gif">
<center><font
color="Blue"><h1>YOURNAME's Home
Page</h1></font></center>
<hr>
This is the home page of <b>YOURNAME</b>.
<p>Type something about yourself here. Describe
briefly who you are and what you do for a living. Remember
to use bold and italic text, for emphasis.</p>
</body>
</html>
Save the text file as "Home.htm".
