Fonts in HTML

Hi,
I have tried hard to get a HTML-file with another font than the normal 'Times
new roman', but have not yet succeded.
I use for example:
   this.STREAMSOURCE1.detailBand.TEXTENHED1 = new
TEXT(this.STREAMSOURCE1.detailBand)
   with (this.STREAMSOURCE1.detailBand.TEXTENHED1)
      height = 285.0
      left = 2800
      top = 0.0
      width = 1200
      variableHeight = true
      prefixEnable = false
      colorNormal = "blue/BtnFace"
      fontName = "Comic Sans MS"
      fontSize = 9.0
      fontBold = true
      text = {||this.form.rep1.rowset.fields["enhed"].value}
   endwith

but it does not change the font.
Do anyone have an idea to that.
Happy new year

You will most likely need to do it manually, by adding code to the 
canRender event ... the problem here is that dBASE does not stream out 
many of the HTML properties that you might like for an HTML report:

function TEXTENHED1_canRender
    f = form.streamSource1.rowset.fields
    this.text := [<font face="Comic Sans
MS">]+f["enhed"].value+[</font>]
return true

Or something like that ...

I believe I responded to this. If not, I apologize.

The report designer does not stream out everything you might like it to 
when generating HTML.

If you want to change the font, the simplest solution is to insert the 
font tag in the text being output. I suggest using the canRender event 
handler:

function TEXTENHED1_canRender
    // something like:
    this.text := [<font face="Comic Sans MS" color="blue"
size="9pt">]+;
                 this.text+[</font>]
    // or
//   this.text := [<span style="font:Comic Sans MS; font-size: 9pt; 
color: blue;">]+;
                 this.text+[</span>]
return true

The "span" tag allows for styles in HTML, which is in a lot of
people's 
eyes the better way to go ...

I had hoped on an answer to my question but it looks as there is no solution to
my problem.
Kind regards

The problem is output to HTML from the report engine ... it doesn't 
stream out everything one might expect.
