Chapter 30 - Controlling Available Fonts
As an administrator, you can add, edit, and delete fonts to and from the Ektron CMS400.NET application. By adding fonts, you are allowing the content contributors to use them when creating content. Administrators can also edit the name of a font, and delete a font from the system.
Minimizing the number of available fonts makes the Web site look more uniform.
Below is the Font Manager screen.
Note: Only members of the Administrator User Group can view, add, or edit fonts.
