iWeb Fonts List
I've been having some iWeb font problems. From reading in here, I can see others have as well. In my research within this site and other places I've found some information that I think might be useful. There is a file buried within the Domain file that tells iWeb how to handle fonts. It lists fonts that are commonly found on Macs and tells it what font to substitute if the site is being viewed on a PC that doesn't have the same font (it has tried to map fonts that are as close to the same style as possible - but it is a pretty limited list because it's trying to use ones most PCs will have). It also tells iWeb that some specific fonts should be converted to an image. These are fonts like "Marker Felt" or "Cracked" or "Handwriting Dakota" that are very graphic in their design. Only the fonts that are included in this list and are specified to be converted to an image will show the little icon by your text box in iWeb when you have the "Text imaging indicator" turned on in the Preferences. I have many fonts that I've purchased that are not on this list. They will still be converted to an image when the site is published even though they don't have the icon by them when viewing the page in iWeb. I learned about this from a website posted on this forum that has been very helpful.

As explained on the llmystics.com site, it is possible to edit this list. I added a font that I like to use to the list and indicated that it should be converted to an image. The little icon that says it will be converted now shows up.
This may be information overload, but here are all of the Mac fonts that are included in this iWeb font conversion list. I haven't included the names of the PC fonts that they will be converted to, and I haven't split out which ones are being told to become an image. This is just FYI so that you can tell if your font isn't listed here, it will definitely be converted to an image even though it won't look like it in iWeb because the icon won't be by the text box. I know it's hard to read, but at least the list is in alphabetical order..... hope this is helpful. By the way, I'm still having a problem that someone else listed. I'm trying to use Optima on my site. It looks fine in iWeb. When it's published, it shows up looking much bolder than it should. If I convert it to an image by putting a shadow on it like others in these discussions have indicated, then it looks ok. So, I'm not sure why it doesn't seem to be handling the Optima font correctly when it's not a graphic. Since I'm using the same computer to view the webpage that I created it on in iWeb, it would seem that it would have the identical font available to display it correctly. Don't it just make you crazy....
