V13 not preserving fonts in Android  en

Hi, I bought V13 yesterday and have been experimenting with it.

Problem:

I uploaded a page to my web space and in one of the text boxes I used a specific font - Lucida Calligraphy. It displays correctly on my PC but on any Android device (I tried 4 different browsers on Android) it looks like this (see picture fontWrong).

Lucida Calligraphy is not a "websafe" font. It will probably only correctly display on recent windows PC's.

I stronly suggest you choose a suitable font from google fonts or similar, you can embed code into WX5 that will automatically download the appropriate font for display on any device or operating system.

If this is difficult for you, check this link.

Hi, that post appears to relate only to the setting of a universal font for the whole website. I want to use different fonts in different text boxes.

Thanks,
Donald

Donald, my advise is in realtion to any font you wish to use that is not websafe. Adding google fonts makes that font/s available globally throughout you project, without it you won't see the correct font in your text boxes.
