Font Face Tags Will Not Work. The fonts are on my computer (iMac using OS X and I.E.) but the tags do not change the font. Color, size, marquee, span style, etc. all work. Any ideas?

what codes do you use? since in a span tag is should be font-family (and all the other tags where you use style="" in )

examples:

<span style="font-family: FONTNAMEHERE;">text here</span>
<div style="font-family: FONTNAMEHERE;">text here</div>
<marquee style="font-family: FONTNAMEHERE;">text here</marquee>

Love,

<font face = Comic Sans MS>text</font> does not work

<font color = FF0000>text</font> colour changes

<marquee>text</marquee> words move

<span style = background:yellow>text</span> yellow background

<font face="comic sans ms">text here</font>

you forgot the quotations :) because the font name is not one word you need the quotations

Love,

It needs the quotations, but it also seems to depend on the order of the tags.

<marquee><font face = "comic sans ms" size = 7 color = yellow><span style = background:blue>A Golden Oldie</span></font></marquee> font IS comic sans ms

<span style = background:yellow><marquee><font face = "comic sans ms" size = 7 color = red>testing</font></marquee></span> font is NOT comic sans ms

Thanks for the help.

<marquee style="background-color:yellow;font-family:comic sans ms;font-size:50px;color:#ff0000;">testing</marquee>

Thanks for all the help.

My pupils would joke "If at first you don't succeed - GIVE UP"

Thanks again.
