Whether you just started designing your website or have had your site up and running for months or even years, you may want to check your fonts. For beginners, let me take just a moment to explain what fonts are. Fonts are the style of lettering you use to write the text on your web page.
Most programs have hundreds or even thousands of fonts to choose from.
Though the fonts may look great on your computer screen, they may look totally distorted on your visitor's screen. Because everyone has different fonts installed on their computer, your list of fonts may not be the same as others. Therefore, if you select a font that another person doesn't have, the words won't look the same on their computer as it does yours. Safe fonts that most programs have, and that are okay to use are Times Roman and Arial. I leave my font at this default setting any time I'm writing content text for my web pages.
