You gotta hit up the web and scour around all the millions of free font sites. Trust me millions - unless Im wrong and the font format is different for those files, but i dont think it is.

Dreamweaver and GoLive use the same fonts as the rest of the programs on your computer. What you should probably be searching for is "Free Windows Fonts"

I use Macintosh, so I can't be much help there. You might want to contact Microsoft's Tech Support people... I'm sure somewhere on microsoft.com they've got to have a tech support section with instructions on installing fonts.

You can use the Windows "Help" function off the Start button. There are some ins and outs to handling fonts, but the basic details are there for each version of Windows.

Fonts go into the folder called "Fonts" in your Windows folder.

Ah, Do you mean fonts for use in web pages or in graphics - two different subjects, as fonts you use in a web page need to be on the users computer, and that is a limited set, which varies by operating system, etc, where as if you make a graphic you can use anything you want, but it won't be read by a search engine, etc. Try the site search above for "fonts"

You could download some free TrueType core fonts for the Web from Microsoft:
[microsoft.com...]

Don't use anything fancy. Some users might not even have these fonts installed let alone anything exotic that you can find on the web.

Make sure to add a generic entry at the end of your font-family CSS entry, e.g., :

font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

Validate your HTML and your CSS.

I've mentioned this reference in a previous thread, Code Style's cross-platform font survey: [codestyle.org...]

It can be an aid when creating custom CSS font-families.
