FONT LOGO



A font tag in your html tells the browser what the text will look like. This could be the size, color, face/style, or the effect. You can use these together. WebTV is limited to what it is able to do. The following will show the different types of size, color, /face/style, and effects that you are able to use with your WebTV.

ROSES


Sizes

Sizes range between 1 and 7. You can add a plus sign (+) in front of the number up to the number 4 and the text will appear slightly larger than with out the + added.

To place any of the following font sizes in your html, use this code:

<<>font size="Number here"<>>

To end the font size place this code after the text:

<<>/font<>>
Your code should look like:

<<>font size="3"<>>TLC's<<>/font<>>


These are With out the + sign

Color

ROSES

You can change the color of the text by adding a designated color with the font tag. To do this use this code:

<<>font color="white"<>>

You may also use the number code of a color. It will look like this:

<<>font color="#FFFFFF">

Now you must end the color just as you did when you used the size tag. The end tag is the same.

<<>/font<>>

To add a size and color together use this tag:

<<>font color="#FFD700" size="+2"<>>

Be sure to end it with the end tag:

<<>/font<>>

Faces/Styles




Let me first say, on Webtv, the font face tag does not do anything. Webtv only has the one font face and this can not be changed but it can be altered buy using tags such as bold <<>b<>>, italics <<>i<>>, underline <<>u<>>, typewriter <<>tt<>>.


To use these all you need to do is place the one you want to use in front of the word and end it in <<>/b<>> or which ever one you use. You can use them by their selves of together.


However, there is a way for WebTV user's to get some of that special look. By using a Font Generator you can create an image of the special font that you would like to use just like I did in the title of this page. If you have a Tripod account you can use the Gif Works Generator and upload the font image straight to you Tripod account. In creating these images/gifs you can transload them to your server or save them to your scrapbook by using the transcribe located at Starblvd or any of the other tools that will allow the copy to your scrapbook such as The Transloader.


Webtv users can still use this tag for the computer users who will be visiing your page. When the Font Face tag is used, specific fonts can be assigned to specific text on a html document. These fonts must be installed in your computer to view them.


Using The Font Face Tag.

The three most common fonts are arial, helvetica, sans-serif. Using the font face tag is very easy. The tag is inserted as part of the <<>font<>>. <<>font face="arial" size="3" color="black"<>> You should put three common fonts after the font name you wish to display your text in. If the computer can not read your intended font, it will attempt to read the second font and so on.


NOTE: Using Font Faces can be a nice added look to your web site without a lot of work. Just remember these fonts your're using must be installed within the computer viewing your page, so stick with the most common ones.






Effects





There are three known Effects that can be used with the WebTV browser. These are:


Emboss

Blackface

Shadow


Here is the font tag to add the above into your html: <<>font effect="name of effect"<>> you will need to end the font with <<>/font<>>.
