Can I change the fonts used on Web pages?

[Curt]

Unless a Web page specifies certain fonts, your browser will use its default fonts. Often, you can change these defaults.

There are two types of fonts: monospaced (also referred to as fixed-width), and proportional. For example, Arial is a proportional font - the letter "w" takes up more room than the letter "l"; most Web pages use proportional fonts. In monospaced fonts like Courier, all the letters are the same width.


To change fonts in Internet Explorer 5.x (Windows):
1. From the Internet Explorer tool bar, choose Tools and then Internet Options.
2. Select the General tab and click on the Fonts button.
3. Choose a font for the Web page font.
4. Choose a font for the Plain text font.
5. Click OK.
