A font (also known as typeface) is a set of letters, numbers, punctuation marks and symbols that usually follow a unified theme or style. Some popular fonts that you may already see installed on your computer include Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman and Verdana, however, there are many others. To add a font to Dreamweaver you must first install the new font on your computer and then add it in Dreamweaver's font list.

Steps

Installing Fonts

Open the folder containing the font that you have downloaded.

Go to the Windows Start menu and click on Control Panel.

Switch to Classic View (the option is available on the left sidebar).

Double-click on the Fonts folder.

Drag the font file that you had downloaded and drop it into the Fonts folder. The font is now installed on your computer.

Adding Fonts in Dreamweaver

Open the Macromedia Dreamweaver software.

Select "Text" in the top menu.

Browse to "Font" and select "Edit Font List."

Find the font that you want to add in the "Available fonts" list.

Add the font to the "Chosen fonts" list by clicking on it and pressing the arrow pointing left.

Press the "OK" button. This will close the window for editing the font list and you should be able to see the new font that you have added appear in the list of other fonts that could previously be seen and selected in Dreamweaver.
