    Thats one of the reasons i don't like making sites from scratch, i can come up with fine looking design, the text (fonts) always looks like its page made from MS Front Page template...
    e.g.
    [​IMG]
    I cannot seem to chose right font whatever i chose in Dreamweaver out of how many 7 fonts does not look professional.Even fonts in this forum menu looking better than the best font i can find for my site.

    Is there some font generation tool or any advice on how i make fonts look better without sacrificing compatibility.

    The font looks fine... maybe just adjust the size and the letter spacing - set these up in the .css file

    No i understand what you mean. Your best font is Myriad Pro or Arial with a sharp or smooth font style (photoshop) than import those settings into your css

    The fonts are okay, just try adding a bit of weight onto them. Thats what I usually do. Or using the <strong> html tag helps.

    Maybe you're just using the wrong font (it is kinda heavily-used, so would "appear" more "common/cheap" ...) ... or are looking with the wrong browser :)

    Smaller font size should fix your problem. try using a style sheet and set your font-size to something like 10 px or 12pt.
