I designed a simple web page and regardless of what font I tried (Arial, Verdana, Century Gothic, Times Roman), they are all displayed bold when there is no bold or strong tag in the code.

The code is in a single table cell and I tried it as either a .css or a normal table & font HTML definition, but to no avail.

The display size is "2" and if I change it to to "1" then, it responds correctly and the display becomes normal weight and smaller, but it is too small to read.

I used Coffeecup as the HTML design software, then I defined the HTML code with a text editor (Textpad), and tested it with Mozilla Firefox and IE 6.0. All results are the same.

Help, or direction towards a solution to get rid of the is greatly appreciated.

you need to learn a bit more about CSS. Then you can control font wieghts for any given HTML tag... eg.

HTML:

< p>text here< /p>

CSS:

p {font-weight:normal}

Thanks for your reply. Agree that I must learn (a lot more) CSS but I understand the concept and application of it. I tried the solution to no avail. The characters still appear bold. The display is the same on IE6 and on Firefox 2.0+. The font size = "2", and when I change it to "1" then the bold disappears but the characters are too small. I tried it with all the standard Windows .TTF fonts that otherwise appear normal and clear on other webpages and documents. I don't find the display pleasant to look at compared to other text based web pages I saw.

Again, thanks.

you need to remove the font tags from your html altogether - then apply CSS to the

tags as I demonstrated - (edited 1st post - didn't realise VB removed the < brackets >)

Font tags are deprecated under W3C standards - so will not validate.

Thanks again. Everything is working fine.
