I am using Myriad Pro as the font for my menus but if the user does not have the font it is replaced by the god awful times new roman. Is there a way to change this default font?

Hello Ken,

If the user doesn't have the font you are using in their system then the default font of that system will be used. So if you have Times new roman as your default font you will the menus with that. If you have Arial as the default font in your system then the menus will use Arial.

In the current version of the menus you don’t have an embed option and you can’t embed fonts in the HTML page also. We will take this feature into consideration for the next version of the menus.

Kind regards,
Andrei Rinciog

Hi Ken

Just to save you time I had the same problem and it is much better to find a close substitue for the menu system for browser compatibility as well, I used ariel in the end which looked fine. I searched for a long time but it seems there is no easy "standard" way to embed fonts even with CSS as not all browsers take advantage of it.
