Web Design Tutorial

There are many subtle aspects that can make a web page and a web site look messy or amateurish, one of these is too many fonts on the page. A time honored page layout rule is that a page should have no more than two fonts appearing, otherwise the aforementioned ?badness? will creep in. Whenever you?re not sure about something, it is always a good idea to try it and then to try it in opposite extremes.

So in this case, that means that you should break out your HTML editor (whether it be Notepad or a wysiwyg like Dreamweaver) and create two simple HTML pages. In one page use only one font and in the other use many fonts. Be sure to use to same text on both pages and see for yourself how well each reads. I am sure you will find the page with only one font looks much better and is much easier to read.

Unfortunately there are only a few fonts that are sure to be supported with most people's browsers (tools like Dreamweaver give you the list to choose from) so you have to get used to these limitations unless you:
Create all your text elements with gifs? a bad idea.
Get into font embedding available for Netscape and IE.
Use a supported font for the majority of your text and use GIF?s for headlines in your preferred font.
