Web Fonts

[Kitty]

Just a comment (pet peeve) about using web fonts. Drives me crazy when people (have to admit, usually women) use the "girlie/swirly" fonts on their blogs simply because they can. Can't read 80% of them!

Now that the web fonts offer some actual usable font choices beyond the web safe few... why doesn't NOF show a font sample as you scroll down the list (dare I say, like every other program in existence)? Without that, choosing a new font becomes a rather absurd exercise in trial and error.

Good point!

LBA,

Great idea, I've submitted this as a feature request.

First an aside: I figured out what the heck was happening on the "Online View" when you first open the program. When you click on a box, say, "SiteStyles" or "Food/Faces/Buildings" or "Web fonts", the page you go to has stuff available to download and incorporate into NOF. When you click on a font or an image or a sitestyle, you get a green checkmark thingy to let you know it's downloaded OG WhatsApp.

So maybe I'm getting old, but I had no clue what was going on. I had stuff with a green check mark that I had "activated", and I wondered how to uncheck it to "de-activate" it.

Anyhoo... on to web fonts. So presumably when I'm editing a page, highlight some text and go to the Font drop-down list in the Text Properties Panel, I am seeing available web fonts.

So how do I know if I am selecting a web font?
What if I don't want to use web fonts, and just want to use browser fonts to keep my site streamlined?
How do I add more web fonts to NOF from Google?
Can I add web fonts from Fonts.com?

Thank you so much for starting this post which i really like to read...
