The Font Dialog is used to change the color, size and style of the fonts you use in your documents. If you want to change only a portion of the text in your document, highlight the text before opening the Font Dialog.
Remember - if you select an unusual font type for your webpage, and the visitor viewing your webpage does not have that font installed on their computer, then that font will not be displayed when they view your webpage. Instead, a default font will be displayed. To give you greater control over the font type used in your webpages, degradable fonts have been introduced. See below for more details.
(Note - See the Format Font Tutorial for an example of using the Format Font Dialog).
