Website Font Question

[BMW POWER]

Hi everyone I have a quick question for all you web guys out there. I'm a complete noob to the whole thing but recently I decided to have a go at making my own site. Now the site is still on its design stages on my PC but I have a question concerning fonts. Now I quite like the look of "Calibri" but from what I've seen around on the net it's not a font commonly used for older versions of windows so may not display on everyone’s PC. I was just wondering is there a way to have the main font on my site "Calibri" but if the user does not have it installed then it defaults to another font of your choice? (I know it automatically goes to "Times New Roman" but I'm really not a lover of that font) I might not have explained it very well but if anyone out there gets what I'm trying to say then any help would be appreciated.
Cheers guys.

If I'm not mistaken, you can specify them in the order you want them used so the style.css file should look something like this:

font-family: Verdana,Arial,helvetica, sans-serif;

Also, it appears that you need single quotes around any fonts with multiple names like 'Lucinda Handwriting'.

For a bit more explanation, give this a read.

Happy coding!

I also like calibri
TB is right.

font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

is one of the default dreamweaver font groups. You can put any other fonts (like Calibri) in front.
This may be of use
