Site looks great!

Which text do you want to change? Left column username and password seem to be the smallest?

Thanx man, i really try to make this worthseeing. It`s good that i`ve finished what was most important to do , because now i`ve started college. Now there are few retouches and the content. Thx for the support, but i`ve found out that you can even download fonts from the internet and use them whereever u want. I didn`t knew that you have to use the presets for fonts from joomla to make it look better. However, i would like to change the fonts from the login form and the whole left column, yes. That would be helpful, i guesss that`s a code you have to put in.

Thx for the great support. You rock

Hey Dude,
I'll post a quick note on website fonts shortly - the main thing to keep in mind is that the font needs to be installed on the computer of the person who is viewing your website for it to display properly - many of the really cool fonts available on sites like dafont.com won't work for most usuers unless they have also installed the font - there is a workaround called SIFR and if you search Joomla extensions you'll find something available for it. I'll post more as soon as I get a moment.

Have also put this up:
http://joomlabear.com/Design-Resources/Joomla-CSS- list-of-styles-used-in-Joomla.html
Which is a list of all the CSS styles Joomla generates - if your working from one of our themes then you'll probably find most of those are already in the CSS file so may not be to much use to you.

i didn`t knew that the user should have the font also, that means that i`m stuck with these fonts preinstalled?

Verdana Is a popular web safe font to use. More so than Tahoma, which isn't as widely supported. A new one released on Windows is Trebuchet MS (another sans serif font).
Fonts that are easy to read on screen are sans serif rather than serif fonts (serif = little elaborate things on the letters). Sans is the French word for without so fonts to use safely on the web are the ones 'without all fancy stuff' (sans serif).
It took me ages to realize why I couldn't just use any font But when you think of it I wonder why no browser hasn't developed the function of embedding a font. They'd add 100kb to 180kb next to nothing. any way, hope that helps.
