Collecting font sets for a site


    You can collect and name font sets for specific sites. Site font sets can be shared between others working on the same site project on different computers or on a workgroup server. When the site is open, font sets organized in the Font Sets tab in the site window become available at the bottom of the Font submenu of the Type menu. A font set applied to text provides the Web browser with a choice of fonts to use for displaying the text. (See Creating and applying font sets.)

    Site font sets remain linked to the pages they're used on, so you can change a font set and update any page that uses it.

To add a font set to a site:

  1. Select the Font Sets tab in the site window.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Drag text that uses the font set from the page into the Font Sets tab.
    • Choose Site > Get Font Sets Used to add all the font sets currently used by pages in the site.
    • Drag a font set from another site window into the Font Sets tab in the site window.
    • Choose Site > New > Font Set and use the Font Set Inspector to add fonts to the set.
