How do you set a font for a whole page rather than having to put <FONT FACE="arial" SIZE="-2"> All over the page? Thanks

You can use a CSS to do this if you want.
Something like

Quote:

td
[
font-size: 16px;
font-family: times roman;
]

Then all your TD variables will start with the default Font size 16 and Times Roman

Hope this helps

the best way to control the look of your page fonts etc... is by using CSS
i find this tutorial very helpfull as a start :

Or if your using CSS, you could do

PHP Code:


		
			
body {

font-family: arial;

font-size: 2px;

}

Try and tell me if it works

Agreed to the above, CSS all the way. You can setup different sizes and weights, even colours which will allow you to make up body text, heading text and so forth.

Plus, if you ever get bored of the font or colour scheme it will only take a moment to change. Definitely go to the w3schools site, much more indepth and detailed explanation of the tags involved.
