Okay, so I'm scripting my own homepage for one of my forums I created about 2 weeks ago. The HTML script I'm using is this:

Code:
<div align="center"><font family="Segoe Script" size="5" color="white">Free Rider 2 Forums</div></font>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<body background="http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq113/RokstrSk83rDude/fr2fbg.png" BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000" LINK="#0000FF" VLINK="#FF00FF" ALINK="#FF0000"> 
</body>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

<font family="Century Gothic" color="white">Free Rider 2 Forums is a newly-made community for all of the 'Free Rider 2' flash game fans to share their tracks and play others'.

Now, as you can see, I have the font family set correctly:
Code said:
<div align="center"><font family="Segoe Script" size="5" color="white">Free Rider 2 Forums</div></font>


<font family="Century Gothic" color="white">Free Rider 2 Forums is
However, they won't appear right in my homepage I'm making. Here is how it appears:

If you can see what I'm talking about- at the top of the page, the Free Rider 2 Text is still at the default Arial font, but not as 'Segoe Script' and 'Century Gothic' fonts I want (as I stated above in the code.) Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
 
Eh, sure. I'd like all text to be Century Gothic. Do you know what I can do?
 
The <font> tag is ancient and sooner or later it won't be supported by Web Browsers.

Use inline CSS within a Span tag, such as:
Code:
<span style="font-family: Segoe Script, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #ffffff; size: 12px;">Free Rider 2 Forums</span>

Code:
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #ffffff; size: 12px;">Free Rider 2 Forums</span>

Segoe Script isn't a "Web Safe" font, meaning it will only appear to those who have the font installed on their computer. However, the code I've provided backs it up, so it will show up as Arial if they don't have it installed.

Try it out, let me know if it works or not. ~wink~
 
Wow, that worked! Thanks so much MhW.
I would of never known that code, lol. +Rep
 
I know; thanks for the information though. 😉
