One of the drawbacks of website formatting is the limitation on the font families (i.e Arial, Times New Roman, etc.) that you can use. There are only 9-12 fonts that are guaranteed to be available on all your member’s computers. Most of the fonts do not vary greatly in their look or feel either. For this reason most websites look well…. boring !

One of the new technologies we are introducing with this release has the ability to use a wide range of fonts, each with distinct “personalities”, without requiring any special software on your member’s computers. Through the use of this technology you will have access to (in select Site Themes) and additional 32 font families.

You can view these new fonts at Admin/Site Theme/Other Settings/SIFR Font List.

This technology is called SIFR. It allows us to take a non-standard font selection, turn it into a Adobe Flash, and display it so your members can see it. While it does require Adobe Flash to view these additional fonts, almost 90% of computer have it installed. Those that do not have Adobe Flash simply see the backup font you have selected.
