WORD - Web Safe Fonts

Did you know that when creating a webpage, you should typically only stick to certain fonts?  Browsers are only capable of displaying a few certain types of fonts.  They refer to these fonts as font-family when implementing them into your CSS (cascading style sheet) file.  People typically only have certain fonts installed on their own personal computers.  If someone were to put some type of funky font on their site that you do not have, their webpage would look very different to you than originally intended.  That’s why people tend to stick to a few basic fonts for the web.  If you do want to use some type of different font, then you should consider placing it into an image or flash file that you can embed onto your page.  Read more about web safe fonts here.
