    Changing text properties in shape

    I have tried changing the text properties in a shape but after I save and exit the font reverts to the default. How can I make the text appear as I want it to?

    Sorry, forgot to give the URL


    Have tried just about everything to change the text properties in a shape. Reverts to default every time.

      Did you ever get a reply to this? I am having the same issue. Even if I change text in the properties, it still will not change when text is in a shape (box).

      Thanks,

      Cindy

          I have a large shape box with a pretty dark blue thick border around my pages. Inside I have inserted text and the fonts cannot be changed.
          (you can physically set the font, but it all looks like the same font).
          If I highlight text and choose a font and and also go to page properties and choose a default font like verona - but, font appearance stays the same. HTML says the different fonts are there.. This is strange

            You should only use websafe fonts. If you use other fonts, your browser (as well as the browser of visitors) will display the default font.

            Does the font change in the BV workspace ?

              They are the websafe browser fonts which is arial or vernona.

              Yes, it changes in the BV workspace, and shows in html, buit does not change in preview.

              I am not publishing until I transfer the site, so I don't know how the fonts look when published.

                  ......but then, you can't publish without a VH account ;(
