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.

In Firefox, your background image is not showing up due to a space character embedded in the file name.

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.

Thanks so much!
