Using the <FONT> tag with the FACE attribute lets you change the font for a section of text on your Auction or Website. You can specify a new font by name, such as Courier, or by type, such as monospace.

If you specify a font by name, you should specify more than one font in case your first choice is not available on a user's computer. One of the fonts you specify should be a common font, such as Arial, to increase the probability that a computers will display one of your font choices.

To change the font:
  1. Before the text to be changed, type <font face="fontname1, where fontname1 is your first choice of fonts. Type the complete name of the desired font, including the style.
  2. Type , fontname2 where fontname2 is your second choice of fonts. Each successive font should be separated from the previous one by a comma.
  3. Repeat step 2 for each additional font choice.
  4. Type "> to complete the FONT tag
  5. Type the text that should be displayed with the given font.
  6. Type </FONT>
