Probably a dumb question but..

This will probably be a dumb question but.. here it goes anyways:

Lets say I want a custom font on my site, like in a image, but my site is in css, I have a font I want, but I don't want to make a image.

I want to use CSS to change the font from the normal font (Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif) to a font that is called Alexis...

Would i change my CSS from Verdana to Alexis? But then where do I put my font file?

This is very confusing, and I am using Frihost for hosting. Please help, thank you!

People will only see the alexis font if they have it installed on their system. The best u can do if u really want others to view the website how u intended, is to hav alink for people to downlaod the alexis font if they dont have it.
Another good thing to do is thru CSS make primary font Alexis, if they dont have that then choose a secondary font such as verdana.

yep, i find it way easier to use an image, unless you want to do your whole web in that font. Although i would never design a web in a font that people may not have. Wink

Alright I don't want to create another topic, cause its another dumb question..


I can't seem to align my text.

Heres my css for my text:
Code:

#right
{
text-align: right;
}


Because where I want to put my text is in a div, I don't know how to do it. I tried <span class="right"> But nothing happened.

Another noob question, but what do I do?

either you can create a .para for it if you plan to use it multiple times, but if you plan to use it just once just do an inline style sheet

IE:

Code:
<div style="font-align: right">

To your second question a simple error in your css. You used class="" in your span tag in this case you need to address the style as .right instead of #right.

So it would be:

Code:

.right
{
text-align: right;
}


Instead you could change your HTML and then it would be:

Code:

#right
{
text-align: right;
}


Code:

<span id="right"></span>

did u try google any of ur questions? cause it's so easy to answer and google would have helped u in just 1 minute..

anyways.. text-aling do work.. BUT not in the div tag.. u must put in in ur <p> tag..

Code:
#yourdiv {
my stats;
my stats;
my stats;
}

#yourdiv p {
text-aling:right;
}


so ur html

Code:
<div id="yourdiv">
<p>my text is to the right</p>
</div>


Very Happy

This did not work for me, just took it out of the DIV, and then it double spaced it from the DIV.

Heres my CSS:

Code:

#Content2
{
   margin-left: 190px;
   margin-right: 190px;
   margin-bottom: 20px;
   border: 2px solid #990000;
   border-top: none;
   height: 15px;
}

#Content2 p
{
   text-align: right;
}



Heres my HTML:
Code:
<div id="Content2">&copy 2007 Free Fonts Database <p>Hello</p>
         </div>



Im trying to have my copyright on one side, and the rest (Hello) on the other side. For me it does not work.

<body>
<div id="content2">

You are right, that doesnt work.. cause css do not yet suport text in the same div and on the same row, to have different aligns.. no align = auto left.. if u place a <br /> before ur <p>HELLO</p> it will work..

now IF you wanna do it the way you have wrote it in ur post.. u should remove text-align:right; from ur css.. and instead put margin-left: 123px;
ofc u change 123px to whatever suits ur needs best.. should work..
