You choose your own font you like then includes in the command. like for example I want to use Tahoma in my website the code goes something like this.. <font size="2" face="Tahoma"> your text goes here..</font> so all text you typed in between the opening and the closing tag will be used Tahoma font sytle... what do you think ???  |

Ahhh.. Ok,
In my own idea that font was depend in your computer setup, you can change that using control panel display properties but that was only work in your computer. If you are talking about change the font style of IE or other browser, well I think that's a great idea but I don't see any website with unique font. what i know is that the display of your browser depends on how you configure your computer. Maybe you can change that style but honestly I don't know hot to do it. maybe somebody here can help you with that...

yeah, it's defaulted to Tahoma and Trebuchet MS
you can see what they are and change them by going to Display Settings and on the Appearence tab click "advanced" and there you can scroll through each item and see what the default settings are (as long as they haven't been changed) |

Bleh. I don't like comic sans... Verdana is a nice font.
 I mostly like sans-serif fonts... By the way I think this is starting to go off-topic... |
