On this site, does anyone know what the main body text font is? Very clean and nice.
“You tell us”
I’m looking for something similar, but within my body text I want to have sections within the text in a different colour and BOLDED.
Is this possible if you have had to ‘force the graphic character’
Web font guru required!!! lol
Thanks

Looks like Tahoma. I originally thought it was Verdana until I looked at the site’s style sheet set-up via the Web Inspector in Safari, and realised I didn’t have the Tahoma font turned on.
You may like to get the ‘Develop’ menu going in Safari - there are a few utilities on versiontracker.com that can enable this for you.
Once activated, go to the Develop menu > Show Web Inspector
There is a wealth of information just waiting to be explored!

The main body copy can be set up as a paragraph style sheet, setting up the font, size, weight, colour, leading and paragraph alignment etc.
By setting up a character style sheet with no paragraph attributes, you can highlight individual words and set them to different colours and weights within any paragraph.

The site’s CSS file says this:
font-family:tahoma, verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif
So the font is Tahoma, a perfectly acceptable web-safe font, with
Verdana then Arial, etc. as the fall-through options in case the
visitor doesn’t have the first choice typeface installed.
To make a similar ne font set for your HTML text use in Freeway…
Choose Edit > Font Sets, and click New
In the Name field type “Tahoma set” (or whatever you like, this
just creates the menu name in the Inspector palette)
In the Screen font field pick Tahoma (the Regular weight) from the
popup font menu
In the Alternative fonts field type
“Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif”
In that last step remember to include the name of the font you picked
as the screen font, or it won’t be built into the list of fonts in
your CSS code. Oh, and don’t include the quotes from the above
instructions when typing.

It’s Tahoma. The font suitcase has Regular and Bold versions. If it’s not on your system, it’s supplied with MS Office. It can also be found on the web.

Thank you all, thats great.
I will have to take a look at the ‘Develop’ menu in Safari.
While on the subject, should you only apply H1-6 styles to title test within your site?
I.E main sections you wish to be indexed
Thanks Ian, K, and IanB once again!

All readable text (i.e. HTML text) will be indexed, but if you apply
header styles to certain items you’re effectively marking them as
being more important.
