I just published my website. Viewing it on the same computer in both Firefox and IE, the Ariel Unicode font I used is substituted for a serif font in Firefox. Since I have this font installed on my computer (and others), why would the problem be with the one browser and not the other? Also, I thought there was a way to suggest a secondary font in html somehow? (first ariel, then any san serif font)?
I didn't see any difference in Firefox -- it displayed the same as my IE7: a sans-serif font that looks a lot like Arial Unicode. Maybe something strange is happening with just your computer?
You can specify secondary fonts with CSS -- description here.

Yea, I figured that out by reading through other posts. I pulled my website up on a third computer, and it was the internet explorer page that showed the incorrect font on that computer. I'll try the css script you gave me to see if that works.
