Because they can be difficult to read onscreen, you should avoid using large blocks of
cursive text. These fonts are more appropriate for page banners or headings, to provide an elegant
tone for a Web page. Examples of cursive fonts are Zapf-Chancery and Lucida
Handwriting.
To assign a specific font series to your text, follow these steps:
1. Select the text or position your cursor where you want the new text font to begin.
2. From the Property inspector, open the drop-down list of font names. You can also display the list
of fonts by choosing Text ??? Font from the menu bar.
3. Select a font from the Font List. To return to the system font, choose Default Font from the list.
It??™s also possible to enter the font name or font series directly in the Property inspector??™s Font drop-down
list box.
Editing the font list
With the Edit Font List dialog box, Dreamweaver gives you a point-and-click interface for building your
font lists. After the Edit Font List dialog box is open, you can delete an existing font series, add a new one,
or change the order of the list so your favorite ones are on top. Figure 8-18 shows the sections of the Edit
Font List dialog box: the current Font List, the Available Fonts on your system, and the Chosen Fonts. The
Chosen Fonts are the individual fonts that you??™ve selected to be incorporated into a font series.
