Hi,

I installed the web safe Oswald font from Google, however when I go to select it in Visual Site Designer it is not showing up. Can someone help me why a web safe font won't show up for selection in Visual Site Designer.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Visual Site Designer can only use fonts in a TTF format. If it is in any other format, VSD will not be able to use it.

The advanced text feature isn't going to let VSD read a font file type extension that 's not compatible with it.:) It will how ever make the text look like the chosen font on all pc's whether it's installed locally or not.:cool:

It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

You could use this font to create what you want in a photo editor program. Save it as a .jpeg file then post to your site as a picture.

You could also hard code the needed font.:)
