This way, if your primary font choice is not compatible with a user\u2019s operating system, you can still have a say in the backup font that\u2019s shown in its place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few different options for adding the CSS to incorporate web safe fonts on your website. If you\u2019re using WordPress, you can put it in the<strong> Additional CSS<\/strong> section of the <strong>Customizer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can change your website\u2019s font in its stylesheet (<strong><em>style.css<\/em><\/strong>). There should be a fonts and typefaces section of this file where you can specify which fonts should be used for different types of text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>p {font-family:Montserrat,Arial,sans-serif; }<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this snippet, we\u2019ve set the paragraph text to display the Montserrat font first. If a user\u2019s device doesn\u2019t have Montserrat installed, Arial will be used instead. You can include more than two fonts if you wish and use different fonts for body text, headings, and titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to always preview your site to check how fonts appear on different browsers before you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/how-to-design-a-website\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">publish your website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h2_do-you-have-a-favorite-web-font\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do You Have A Favorite Web Font?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamhost.com\/blog\/what-is-wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">not an experienced designer<\/a>, it\u2019s easy to overlook the importance of choosing the right fonts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, typefaces play an important role in your branding. Choosing a font that isn\u2019t viewable on all devices can disrupt the UX or even prevent visitors from reading your content entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide should\u2019ve given you a better understanding of the importance of web safe fonts. And you now know how to identify the best web safe fonts, make a good font choice, and add them to your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to dive in and start designing your new site?
