Font family availability Can't Post

I've very new to this...Can I only use the font families that show in my Page Publisher update window or can a "load" a new font family so my client can update his site with the correct font?

I'm used Gill Sans when I designed the site and now when the client goes to update their site, it reverts to a default font.

Thanks for your help in advance!!

Hi John!

Two ways that you can do this. :)

One, you can switch them to using CSS styles instead of <font> tags. Take a look at this tutorial for details:

http://www.interactivetools.com/products/pagepublisher/tutorials/tutorials_pp_using_styles.html

Two, you could modify the following file:

/pp/images/tiny_mce/editor_config.js

and find this line:


Code
		theme_advanced_fonts : "Arial=arial,helvetica,sans-serif;Courier New=courier new,courier,monospace;Georgia=georgia;Tahoma=Tahoma;Verdana=verdana",


And change it to this:


Code
theme_advanced_fonts : "Gill Sans=gill sans;Arial=arial,helvetica,sans-serif;Courier New=courier new,courier,monospace;Georgia=georgia;Tahoma=Tahoma;Verdana=verdana",


Make sure the name of the font is exact. :) You can also add "alternate" fonts for people who do not have Gill Sans available (a good idea, since it's not a default font, and the majority of your viewers won't have it available) like this:

Gill Sans=gill sans,tahoma,verdana;

Give that a try and let me know how it goes. :)

Donna,

One more question...I would also like to add in a font size (13 pt) but did not see that code in the editor_config.js file...where else would it be?

Hi John.

The font drop down is actually handled by a different file. You'll be looking for /images/tiny_mce/themes/advanced/editor_template.js.

If you open that one up you'll see the list of font sizes and just need to add your new one in there. If you wanted, I edited a copy of the file for you with size 13 in there. Just upload it and you are set.

Give it a shot and let me know what you think Smile.
