- [Instructor] You might be really excited…to use a nice-looking font that you've picked out…especially for your e-learning project,…and that's great.…But before you go crazy using an unusual font…throughout a project,…they are some technical considerations…to first take into account,…so you can be sure your project appears as you intended.…It's important to know the difference…between web-safe fonts and web fonts.…So here's what I mean.…There are two places to think about…what fonts are available.…The first is the fonts on your computer.…
