Choosing Fonts
Your browser can use only the fonts installed on your computer. So to ensure your site looks the same on everyone's computer, you should choose a font that everyone has - see the list below.
Where you want a different font, e.g. for a title or logo, we can use an image. However, images should be used sparingly as they can't be 'read' by search engines or by screen readers (technology used by the visually impaired).
