Author Topic: Is there a default "Font Face" or "Font Style" in my index.html file? (Read 1325 times)

Hi

I created a new file and noticed that when I add the following code to my text, it seems to cause issues with other tags such as BOLD tag etc.

Test text.
Test text

Does my index.html file automatically default to "Times new roman font as well as a text color of black?

Because when I tag my text with the above code it seems to cause issues.

It works fine if I change the color of my text to any other color but black. But if I tag a text with the color black or Times New Roman font it seems to cause other tags to not be recognized.

Thank you

Try loading your site with another browser perhaps? None of this is server specific or related to our hosting. Html will load the same in the same browser no matter where it's hosted. Ie: We don't have any default fonts or anything similar that we are requiring nor would there be a way for us to do so.

To clarify my original question please...

I noticed that when I add text between the body tags ( <body> and </body> ) I don't need to tell the editor what font to use or the size of the font or the color etc. In other words I don't need to code any html. I just type my text for my web page.

When finished I click "save" an upload my web page and the editor simply displays the text in the web page. That's fine.

However, If I want to change anything that editor automatically displays (without coding) ex: the font style (font face) or the text size or the color or bold the text etc. I certainly must use the proper html code.

Asa novice to HTML, I'm just curious why this is the case?

Thank you

You can change the font with html code or the FCKEditor. Both work fine.

I can't speak for other web browsers, but in FireFox you can go to the 'tools' menu and select 'options'. Then select the 'content' tab and it shows what the default font is. This is the font your particular browser will use if no font-family, font-size, or color tags are present in the web page.

BTW, don't get terribly used to using the tag as it's being phased out in favor of CSS styles.

attempt reading your site with a dissimilar browser maybe? None of this is a specific server or linked to our accommodation. Html immediately loaded into the browser itself, wherever it is hosted. Meaning: We have no standard fonts or something similar that we need or would there be a way for us to do.

There is not any default on that, you can try to change it to HTML code or the FCKditor, depending on your preference but both is working fine.

One can modify the font with HTML code or FCKEditor. Both can function just fine.

No default is present here, and you can change the HTML code. You must read this article in detail to know more about it finely.

There is no default specified by T35 but in HTML, there are some things that it assumes if you don't specify. One is that if you don't specify a font, it uses Times New Roman (or other font set by your Operating System/browser's theme in some cases). The color works the same way. Usually defaults to black, but if you save a different theme in your operating system or browser, that will manage what displays. In short, if you REALLY want your text to be Times New Roman, black, I would debug the issue with the other text on the site. If you are okay with it using whatever fonts the user has set up on their system then don't worry about coding that. Hope that answers your question :-)
