Good point Stuart.

You can use whatever font you want in titles if the titles are  
rendered as images of course.

Some design opinion:

Looking at the site, the main body font is showing up as a times new  
roman'ish serif, the headers are non serif and the tagline is  
typewriter style. I'm not a fan of that combo, but if this design is  
iWeb template based and that's what it's defaulting to, you'll have  
to wager the effort behind constantly changing the fonts it will  
relentless impose, with accepting it as is. If the title and headers  
are going to look as they do, I'd make the main body text something  
in the arial/verdana family though and endure the template's insistence.

The email address links would look better with a line break  
consistency like this:

Victoria L.
president at dmmug.org

Holly Welch
vp at dmmug.org

etc.

Right now they're breaking haphazardly.

Remember that if you use a font on a web page, only those people who  
have that font will be able to see it in that font. So if you use a  
font that Windows users would not have, then their browser will  
substitute some other font for Bank Gothic.  Just something to be  
aware of.

Thanks,
