Just a thing or two to know . . .
Website design can be tricky. What looks perfectly fine on one computer and web
browser may look completely different on another. Not all computers carry the
fonts used on this website and if you look at the same web page on two different
browsers, say Internet Explorer (IE) and Firefox, it’s not usual to see differences
in how the web page looks.
You can even find differences in different versions of the same browser. Older
versions of Internet Explorer can display the same web page very differently than
the newer version. You can even see some differences if you’re using Internet
Explorer for PC and Internet Explorer for Mac. Which explains why when
someone is looking at your website using Internet Explorer 6 they see the messed
up header as opposed to someone using Firefox who will see your website
perfectly.
The only fail-safe way to make sure a particular non-standard font shows up the
same in all computers is to put the text using that font in a picture, and include
that image in your web page. So that's where we are now . . . changing the
written words into JPEG images so that they will look the same on all
computers.
