WebPlus Essentials User Guide - Serif

Formatting Text 99
Websafe fonts are a specially selected and configurable subset of fonts which
offer the best font matches between your site (during design) and your web
visitors' computers (during browsing). On publishing, Websafe fonts are only
referenced (and not rasterized) as they are assumed to be available on a web
visitor's computer.
Generally speaking, it is advisable to keep to the standard list of Websafe fonts
shown in the Fonts tab unless you can be sure of font usage amongst your target
audience. These fonts are grouped together under the tab's Websafe category (an
equivalent category exists on the text context toolbar's Font drop-down menu).
Using text styles
WebPlus lets you use named text styles (pre- or user-defined), which can be
applied to frame text, table text, or artistic text. A text style is a set of character
and/or paragraph attributes saved as a group. When you apply a style to text, you
apply the whole group of attributes in just one step. For example, you could use
named paragraph styles for particular layout elements, such as "Heading,"
"Quote," or "Body," and character styles to convey meaning, such as
"Emphasis," "Code," or "Reference."
Styles can be applied to
characters or paragraphs
using either the Text context
toolbar or the Text Styles
tab. Both paragraph and
character styles can be
managed from the Text Style
Palette.
The Text Styles tab also lets you create new styles from scratch, create named
styles from existing text properties, and swap a style for another across your site
in one operation. Any style can be previewed against any selected paragraph
directly on the page. See online Help for more details on these features.
