    Default Font Usage in a Web Document.

    Is there any way to find out where a particular font is used on a web site built with XDP+? It has over 100 pages.

    Steve, if you open your design file and switch to the text Tool, the Font dropdown in XPro+ now shows Used Fonts at the top.
    On a page-by-page basis, you can see your Use Fonts in the Name gallery.
    In your published site, replace index.htm with index_htm_files/xr_text.css to see the ClassNames for each font used.
    You can also check in index_htm_files/xr_fonts.css & index_htm_files/xr_custom_styles.css.

    Now if you want to actually find where it is used then step though the Name gallery; very tedious.

    If you know how to Search in files, you could search your HTM files with the appropriate ClassName.

    Some other detail: https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...054#post589054.

    This really needs a better solution. I have found when doing books that frequently a blank space between sentences or after a paragraph will sometimes have a different font which shows up in document info and names gallery but is almost impossible to find. And some times it might only occur once or twice.

    Thanks Acorn, that's given me somewhere to start.

    I agree Gary, it's way too difficult to track down where a font is being used. In my case, there are a couple of fonts that I don't even remember using and a probably left over from an earlier draft of the website. Every time I publish the site I get a warning about the fonts not being installed.

    Glad you brought this up Steve. I get tired of that warning as well. I look at each page and check the fonts for each page. Even though the font is long gone from the page I think Xara thinks you may use the font again.

    Acorn thanks. Does this function replace the font style as well. (Ie) I want to change open-sans to Raleway.

    Bill, it doesn't exist, it is a mock-up.

    I f you have used Paragraph Styles correctly then what you can do is work through your Styles and, when selected, examine the Paragraph Style Properties.
    It can be based on (No style), Normal Text or another Style.
    For those with (No style), change that to Normal Text.
    Finally, change Normal Text to use Raleway; other related Styles will update.

    Your changes might be quite drastic for layout changes so you still have to check how things look.
