Here's how Web Design Services can set or change the font used for your site. To set the fonts for your entire document using cascading style sheets ("CSS"), use the font-family property on the "body" selector. For example, if you wanted to set your entire document to use the Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif set of fonts, you can include the following rule in your style sheet: body { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif ; }
To selectively set the font for a particular selector, for example, all paragraphs only, just change the font-family property for that selector. For example: p { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif ; }
