    Select a font family

    If using this option take note of the following:

    • You must spell the name of the font correctly otherwise a default font displays.

    • If the font name consists of more than one word (see image above) you must put quotation marks around the name. Single words do not need this.

    • If the person viewing your site does not have your 'user defined' font installed on their computer, a default font will display.

    • Font styles do not affect the menu button text.

    • Make sure that your content is still legible after you have made your changes.
