Web-safe fonts are those fonts likely to be present
on a wide range of computer systems, and are used by web content authors to
increase the chance that content will be displayed in their chosen font. If a
visitor to a website does not have the specified font, their browser will
select an alternative.
When designing a website we try to use web-safe fonts
whenever possible so that the content will be readable by all website visitors
and search engines as well. It is
possible to use specific fonts to achieve a custom look-and-feel in the
website but we will need to convert the text to an image so that all browsers
are able to view it the same way. The drawback
to converting text to an image is that disabled website visitors that are using
screen readers or text-only browsers will not be able to see the text. Also search engines will not be able to read
the text in the image and it will not benefit your overall search engine
ranking.
We find that a “middle-of-the-road” approach to using
web-safe fonts and images is best. We
suggest having your menu navigation, page headers, and content text be one of
the “core fonts for the Web” and using custom fonts converted to images for
your main site banner or header, module headers, or areas of the site that you
want to give emphasis or have a custom look.
