[thelist] Css font

[david.landy at somerfield.co.uk]

Amy,

Another shot in the dark....

- Have you set the charset of the page?
- Have you set the language of the page?
- Does your user have *ANY* serif type fonts installed? Perhaps they don't,
or the browser thinks they don't, and it's decided the nearest font type is
eg wingdings or webdings

BTW, we don't get attachements on the list, so if you want to send the
screenshot direct please do.

HTH

David

But would using points make the user see a font that resembles symbols?  The
error that I tried to send a jpg of showed a screenshot of illegible text
that resembled symbols.  Any thoughts on this?
Thanks again,
Amy
