Font List

A font may work on one machine but not another. My advice is to replace any use of fonts to get special characters with a GIF file containing the special character as a picture. Furthermore, to get a fixed width font, instead of using Courier, I recommend that <PRE>...</PRE> or <TT>...</TT> be used. <PRE> preserves white space (blanks, new lines). <TT> does not preserve white space. For example:
Using tag Result HTML
PRE
   lmn
   mnl
   nlm
<PRE>
    lmn
    mnl
    nlm
</PRE>
TT lmn
mnl
nlm
<TT>
    lmn<BR>
    mnl<BR>
    nlm<BR>
</TT>

The fonts included in the following table may be easily compared on different machines to see if there is any point in using them. If no font is found, the character is shown in the default font. To use, find the desired character in the table. Scroll to the left to find the corresponding character in the default font. Scroll up to the top and find the corresponding font name. Format the result as:
<FONT FACE="font name">corresponding character</FONT>
