Set Fonts preferences for documents in Dreamweaver
A document’s encoding determines how the document appears in a browser. Dreamweaver font preferences let you
view a given encoding in the font and size you prefer. The fonts you select in the Fonts Preferences dialog, however,
only affect the way fonts appear in Dreamweaver; they do not affect the way the document appears in a visitor’s
browser. To change the way fonts appear in a browser, you need to change the text by using the Property inspector
or by applying a CSS rule.
For information on setting a default encoding for new documents, see “Creating and opening documents” on
page 68.
1 Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Dreamweaver > Preferences (Macintosh).
2 Select Fonts from the Category list on the left.
3 Select an encoding type (such as Western European or Japanese) from the Font Settings list.
Note: To display an Asian language, you must be using an operating system that supports double-byte fonts.
4 Select a font and size to use for each category of the selected encoding.
Note: To appear in the font pop-up menus, a font must be installed on your computer. For example, to see Japanese text
you must have a Japanese font installed.
Proportional Font The font that Dreamweaver uses to display normal text (for example, text in paragraphs,
headings, and tables). The default depends on your system’s installed fonts. For most U.S. systems, the default is
Times New Roman 12 pt. (Medium) on Windows and Times 12 pt. on Mac OS.
Fixed Font The font Dreamweaver uses to display text within pre , code , and tt tags. The default depends on your
system’s installed fonts. For most U.S. systems, the default is Courier New 10 pt. (Small) on Windows and Monaco
12 pt. on Mac OS.
Code View The font used for all text that appears in the Code view and Code inspector. The default depends on your
system’s installed fonts.
