Dreamweaver: Quick Tip - Font Lists

Dreamweaver provides a fairly limited default list of fonts in the Properties Inspector and the various dialog boxes. If you’d like to make your own font lists or rearrange the order of the Dreamweaver lists you can do this by selecting Text > Font > Edit Font List. This opens up the Edit Font List dialog box where you can choose from Available fonts on your system to create a new list. You can also type in the name of any font, even if you don’t have it on your system in the field below the available fonts list. It’s a good idea to finish your list with serif or sans-serif – this is basically a catchall so that if you’re unfortunate enough to make a specific list of fonts that NOBODY has, you can still determine what TYPE of font will appear on your web pages.



Once you create a font list, it will appear in the places font lists usually appear and even in the code hints for CSS.
