Applying a font
To apply a particular font to a piece of text, you can:
l Select some text, or an element that contains text (see: "Selecting an element" on
page132) and select a font from the Fonts drop-down on the toolbar.
l Use the name of the font in a CSS rule, for example:
body {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
}
Instead of the body tag, any element that can have the CSS property ‘font-family’ can be
used.
Make sure that the rule is applied to the text that you wanted to apply the font to; see "Step
2: apply CSS to the content" on page205.
Note
The reason for specifying more than one font in a style sheet for emails is that the
font might not be available on the device on which they are viewed.
Order the font names by preference. The last one should be the generic font family
(either serif or sans-serif).
Importing a font
To import a font into a template:
l
Drag the appropriate font files into the Fonts folder on the Resources pane.
When text is displayed in an imported font, the Designer can mimic the bold and italic versions
of that font. If you have separate files for the bold, italic and possibly other versions of a font,
you can make the Designer use the appropriate files to style text. To do this:
1. Import the files for the bold, italic and/other versions of the font into the Fonts folder.
2.
On the Edit menu, click Fonts, to open the Font Manager.
3.
Select the normal version of the imported font and duplicate it using the Duplicate button,
once for each version of the font.
