Did you know that besides size and color, you can also change fonts without resorting to image sources?
<font face="1stchoice, 2ndchoice, 3rdchoice">text</font>
This is an example of what I call "subjective coding," as opposed to "objective." It doesn't translate identically on every terminal, the way the paragraph, hard rule, and preformat tags do. Instead, the parameter's performance depends on the TrueType fonts installed on the viewer's computer. If your system does not already know about the "Algerian" font, you won't even notice my use of the font face parameter in the above paragraph. On the other hand, if you've installed a TrueType font called "My Stoopid Wingdings," you could see it on my page without my knowing exactly how stupid the wingdings were.
Use this parameter with taste, tact, and common sense.
I couldn't get all the fonts on our system to work. Here's a few that did:
