RoboHelp has powerful fontsets which let you address this challenge. This blog summarizes a recent featurette video which shows you how to create and apply font sets in place of single fonts for headings, lists, “Normal” and other styles.

ROBOHELP 10: Creating Font Sets

RoboHelp 10 has easy to use tools for creating style sheets (CSS.) But what if you don’t know what fonts a user will have in their browser for your published WebHelp or HTML project? That’s where Fontsets come in. Font sets allow you to list fonts to use by order or your preference. In this brief video, you will see how to (a) create a font set with 3 fonts styles and (b) apply the font set (just like a font) to styles in the CSS. It’s easier to do than it sounds and this 3 minute video will show you how.
