Web Author's Guide
Fonts

You can pick a font by name, from the Claris or Dreamweaver "Font" menu, but what will it look like? Will you have to try out every single garish option, in order to see which one or two you can live with on your decent and restrained web site?

Not any more. We already did it, and you can just eyeball them in the table below. The table is restricted to the 54 English fonts; see our separate page for Greek. We here omit the many WP fonts for languages other than Greek, and for mathematical and miscellaneous symbols.

The next remark is obvious, but we will still make it: Most of these are "display" fonts. They are grimaces; tolerable as labels or special effects, but completely unsuitable for consecutive text. And the weirder ones may not be available on all viewer computers.
