Browser not respecting my default font choice

DreamWeaver font problem

[dreamajp]

I am using DreamWeaver 4 and setting the font in preferences (all but the fixed font) will let me change it to my main font which is Greeting Monotone. In my browser and on my firefox it is showing that font (the same as my picture links and logo). When visiting 2 other family members sites the font of my text looks like Times font. How do I change this in DreamWeaver so it is the same in all browsers? Thanks!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld dreamajp. :) The problem you are experiencing is almost certainly that the other users do not have the font installed on their computer, so the browser is switching to the default available font (Times New Roman). Greeting Monotone is a rare font, so you can't count on it being installed.

There is no real workaround as such, you need to either specify a more common font which is more likely to be available, or you have to place your text in an image - but the second suggestion is only viable for small sections of text, not the whole page.

You can define a series of preferred fonts via CSS, and the browser will use the first available one on the list. For example:

p {font-family:"Greeting Monotone", "Lucida Sans Unicode", Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;}
