Fonts
In templates for personalized customer communications you can use the operating system's
fonts, including imported fonts.
When you are using a font that is not installed on your machine (for example, the bold or italic
variant of a regular font) Windows tries to simulate the font in the Designer. Likewise,
PlanetPress Connect tries to simulate the font in the output. It is however not guaranteed that
the output will be exactly as shown in the Designer. It is strongly advised to make sure that all
used fonts are available and to always test the output before running production jobs.
Note
Hosting non-standard fonts on the operating system in a server environment (as opposed
to importing them into the template) is not recommended.
If output is produced on the server whilst running under a different account, that account
might not have access to the font.
If you do add a font to a server, do not forget to restart the machine, as otherwise the font
might not be available, due to the way certain Windows versions handle fonts.
Applying a font
To apply a particular font to a piece of text, you can:
l Select some text, or an element that contains text (see: "Selecting an element" on
page632) and select a font from the Fonts drop-down on the toolbar.
l Use the name of the font in a CSS rule, for example:
body {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
}
Instead of the body tag, any element that can have the CSS property ‘font-family’ can be
used.
Make sure that the rule is applied to the text that you wanted to apply the font to; see "Step
2: apply CSS to the content" on page749.
