Drop down menu font choices

[letsgofishing]

I can't believe it's 2018 and we're still limited to "web safe" fonts for drop down menus - anybody got any idea of when this might change?

It probably won't.
I have never much liked the Xara NavBar approach as it turns text into graphics for the main bar, doen't allow embedded graphics and web-save fonts for a drop-down that does not reflect the styling of the man NavBar buttons.

I use on-line CSS Navbar generators and I have a licensed copy of css3menu (.com).

That link takes me to a [css3menu (.com)] mobirise web site builder app Acorn, it doesn't seem to want to allow a user to just download the css menu builder.

Acorn,

Are you integrating this with Xara or just running it separate/standalone?

Sigh - http://css3menu.com/builder/

[Egg Bramhill]

Yes Gary but clicking the link doesn't lead to a css menu builder but the whole Moborise website builder....

Egg, I wasn't providing a link as I did not want to promote css3menu specifically; other css3 menu builders are available.

That said, Mobirise usually offer a megabundle of other web applications for not much more than the standalone price of css3menu.

And what Gary said after his sigh. [I have tried that link and yes it does go to a web builder installation, so Mobirise are doing things differently to when I got my version.]

Ray, standalone as in the end it is just Placeholder code.
Do note, it is suitable for my purposes, others might not like the knitting together that is needed.

I will reiterate that are other (free) solutions out there. Search "css3 mega menu free" to get started.

Acorn,

That is interesting. I would never of thought to use it just for placeholder code. Opens up new ideas.

Thanks
