E Tips From New Horizons

(Macromedia Dreamweaver MX/MX 2004)

You can add a font to your list of available fonts even if you don’t own the font but know it’s widely used. To do this, select Edit Font List from the Font dropdown menu in the Property inspector. In the Edit Font List dialog box, type the name of the font in the text box below the Available Fonts list box.

This comes in handy if you have a font such as Bookman on your Mac, but you don’t have Bookman Old Style. Then, you may want to make Bookman Old Style your second choice. This offers your user’s browser a close substitute option.

Just remember that no preview is available in the Edit Font List dialog box, and Dreamweaver doesn’t allow you to display any individual font unless it’s added to the Font List. Because of this, view your font faces in another program to be sure of which font you’re using.
