The newest version of many browsers supports extended fonts, in which you can choose to have the document fonts be other than the normal one. This is accomplished by adding the FACE="font_name" attribute to the <FONT> tag. The most commonly supported fonts are Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Impact, Comic Sans MS, and a few others. It is not recommended to make your page font dependent, because if the font is not already installed on your visitor's computer (before they visit your site) it will not display in that font.

Example of Extended Fonts...

<font size="+2" face="Verdana">Verdana</font>
Verdana
<font size="+2" face="Arial">Arial</font>
Arial
<font size="+2" face="Helvetica">Helvetica</font>
Helvetica
<font size="+2" face="Impact">Impact</font>
Impact
<font size="+2" face="Comic Sans MS">Comic Sans MS</font>
Comic Sans MS

Note: If you don't see one or more of the above fonts, then you probably do not have that font installed or your browser probably doesn't support the extended fonts.

A word on fonts: Now that CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is supported by almost all web browsers, you can often style a whole page with a font or style each section of a page with different fonts without using the <font> tag. CSS is definitely worth learning after you know the basics of HTML.
