Default Font Options
Any text not formatted with a specified font is shown in
Dreamweaver as a default font; the majority of text is therefore displayed in
this fashion. Keeping this in mind, you should choose default fonts that are
easy to read so that the Dreamweaver environment is more pleasant.
For each language Dreamweaver can display, you can specify
which font you want used for the default proportional
font, the default fixed font, the default
code view, and the default
tag inspector. For definitions of these
terms, see Terminology.
A document’s encoding determines how the document is displayed
in a browser. Dreamweaver font settings let you view a given encoding in the
font and size you prefer without affecting how the document appears when
viewed by others in a browser.
 Terminology
-
Proportional Font
-
The proportional font is used for the majority of text on a
web page and adjusts the size of letters so that they take only the amount
of space they need. The default depends on your system’s installed fonts.
For most U.S. systems, the default is Times New Roman 12 pt.
-
Fixed Font
-
The fixed font is 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.
-
Code View
-
The source code for a document can be viewed in several ways.
You can display it in the main window by turning on Code View, you
can split the Document window to display both the page and its associated
code, or you can work in the Code Inspector, a separate coding
window. Code View and Code Inspector share the same
functionality.
-
Tag Inspector
-
The Tag Inspector allows you to edit tags in a in a
separate window.
