Hi,

I have created a blog with Artisteer and exported it to Blogger.com, and on my computer, everything looks great! However, when you view my blog on other computers or devices (iphone, ipad, etc) it uses standard boring fonts. Is this an Artisteer problem or a Blogger problem and does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? Thanks!

If you use a downloaded font (One that is not standard) other people will not have this font on their computer. The font must be on someones computer for it to show. Otherwise it will default back to a stand font when people use it. Google web safe fonts to get a list of what you can use.

interesting don, i thing Artisteer should then only allow web safe fonts if it's not rastorizing them on export...which I found out the hard way it was not. Seems like a fundamental flaw to allow any font in the UI, but not guaranteeing it wil show on computers around the globe eh?

It is just one of the things you will have to do no matter what you use to design a site.

A great plugin for this is to get GFonts at http://www.hyde-design.co.uk/free-joomla-extensions/gfonts

It is available for Joomla 1.5 & 1.6

Just remember to use Firebug to determine which of CSS tags you want it to apply to.

Google fonts may also be a good option.
