In a pretty font, Arab, comes the comforting awareness that such complex things as J. S. Bach's Leipzig Chorales are available to my memory and understanding, which is a feat all mine. It is hard to take for granted as I doubt that many others seem to be able to know such objects in depth.
I had seen a beautiful Roman font in a WYSIWYG web page editor on Mandriva 2007 that I haven't been able to reproduce. I was gorgeous inside the editor but ugly in the browser. Linux is notorious for having crumby fonts, and I thought that the font displayer I have gave web fonts. The font I selected was there, but it doesn't look very good in the browser. I am playing around with other fonts.
And now for something completly different, The Larch...
It is getting closer to what I want. I can verify the font the browser (Firefox 3.0) knows about by looking in the font settings of the edit->preferences pulldown, but not get all the attributes, like Italic. Maybe I should just try that, the Italic tags, and see if that is the way to do it. That did seem to work. The style inside a division said that I wanted Century Schoolbook L with a bold face italicized.
I am still on the lookout for the beautiful Roman font I remember. Lets take the glare off and add a comfortable background color; prehaps a soft pink. It is PeachPuff and looks very much like the color of a Band Aid, with all the connotations, including the smell of one!
It is truely amazing what one can get on-line now. I had found a plugin for Mozilla that can save the video from YouTube into a local file. I have saved a bunch of videos, some Mozart, some Schubert, and quite a bit of Rock 'n Roll. I amaze myself with how much of that I actually know and given how little time I spend on it as compared to classical, that is a tribute to my memory. I also know that I have the Monty Python episode, referenced above, on VHS, but I suspect that it would be comparatively easy to find it on YouTube as well.
What I was able to do here is to put some the paragraphs of the division under the desired font, indent them and italicize two of them.
Just for grins this is the last paragraph of the division. I have put it outsize the italicize tag. It should still have the font of the division and should still be indented.
I just noticed that this file doesn't have all of the markup tags, I must have done this because I was trying to find a minimalist markup, and it did work fine when I uploaded to my site.
