Building the page list

The next stage involves building a list of Web pages that you want Microsoft WEFT to analyze for font usage.

Enter the full http, ftp, gopher or file address of your homepage. These could take the following form:

  • file:///c:/webroot/sammy/default.htm
  • ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/drg/truetype/default.html
  • http://www.microsoft.com/typography/default.asp
Note: Addresses must be entered in the way described. You have to specify an actual html page. Entering 'file:///d:/temp/' or 'http://www.microsoft.com/' will not work. You also need to specify the prefix correctly. Just entering 'c:\test.htm', or 'www.microsoft.com/default.asp' will also fail.

When you click 'Build Page List' Microsoft WEFT will follow links on the specified page and subsequent pages to build up a tree-like list of all the pages below the homepage. Be aware that this process may take a long time. You can follow WEFT's progress by watching each identified page appear in the display window.

Note: To build a list of linked pages stored on a local drive you must use three forward slashes, eg. 'file:///c:/weft/test.htm'. Using two slashes 'file://c:/weft/test.htm' will only result in the specified page being listed and links will not be followed.

If you have hidden pages that are not directly or indirectly linked to your homepage you can add these individually by entering their complete address, selecting 'Do not add linked pages' and then clicking 'Build Page List'.

Once WEFT has built the page list, you are can prevent any pages or complete branches from being analyzed for font usage. To prevent WEFT from analyzing specific pages or branches, highlight them and click 'exclude'.

Note: In the preview version of WEFT there is no way to un-exclude a page or branch from the list, so take care.
