What follows is my attempt to shed some light on browsers and web page fonts (if anyone cares):
Markofkane:
Thanks. It seems that font type HTML won't work in Puppy Linux, it seems all fonts look the same on webpages. Color works and size works. Maybe I'm wrong, lol. Laughing.
Markofkane:
In Windows, if you have the fonts installed, you would use <font face="Kristen ITC">message</font> and it would show using that font. I tried that with one of my installed fonts in Puppy, and no difference.
Ttuuxxx:
Suggested to markofkane how he could change Preferences in Seamonkey to make any font appear on web pages. The only caveat to this is if you build a web page using a font that is not installed on the visitors HD then their browser will use the font selected in their browser’s preferences.
The screen shot in ttuuxxx’s post shows six possible font settings. AFAIK these options are typical of all browsers. The fonts used for these setting however are dependant on the OS used by the web site visitor. In my experience people rarely change these settings but YMMV.

Incidentally Font tags have been depreciated by the W3C in favor of CSS. See:
