Because HTML positions elements using absolute co-ordinates, overlapping
elements are allowed, and file sizes are reduced.
In theory, you can use any font you like. However, if a specified font isn’t
present on a visitor’s computer, an available font will be substituted, with
unpredictable results for your beautifully designed layout! As a rule, stick with
the WebSafe fonts available within WebPlus. They are denoted in the fonts
list with a green tick and all other fonts have a blue question mark.
The WebPlus Layout Checker Wizard will warn you if your site uses non-
standard fonts or character properties, text that must be output as a graphic, or
other problems.
