Dreamweaver CS6: Insert and Use Custom Web Fonts

Dreamweaver CS6 makes adding and using custom web fonts an easy process.

Many of us have excellent fonts in our arsenal that we frequently incorporate in our web site designs. Using them in Dreamweaver CS6 has become a very easy process. In fact, by adding a local font to Dreamweaver through this fashion, you make it available to you no matter for which site you are developing. Add a font once, and you can use it wherever you wish.

1.From the top navigation bar, select Modify -> Web Fonts.
