My site looks fine to me in IE but not to others in IE or other br

[Guest]

My site www.aestheticimageryandlaser.com looks perfect to me in IE but
everybody else who has looked at it sees it all askew, text overlapping, plus
differnet fonts, tho I didn't use any that weren't in FP. I am new to this.
My hosting service says they see it fine too, and they say it's not because
it's on a UNIX server rather than Windows. Please help! Urgent!

Looks bad in IE6, and worse in FireFox.
Remove the VML graphics and absolute positioning (AP).
VML graphics will only be viewable in Internet Explorer, and use
absolute positioning. Since you are using tables, the AP will have
unpredictable results in different browsers and browser sizes.

Any fonts you use must be installed on your visitors' computers.
There are only a handful of fonts that can be guaranteed to be
available to all, such as Arial, Times, Courier.

What is VML & how do I change the AP of graphics?

What are VML graphics & how do I remove AP?
Thank you. Also don't understand why it looks ok to me & the host?

VML graphics:
Word Art
Text Boxes
Shape Art
Any other object created using the FrontPage drawing toolbar.

You remove AP by not using layers or VML graphics.

Regarding the fonts--What's the point of having a hundred fonts in FP if only
three are useable? As a designer primarily I can't believe I'm hamstrung
like that. Of the three fonts you list only Arial is barely pleasing to the
eye! There must be a way around this!?

I listed 3 fonts that I could remember.
Fonts have to be available on ALL operating systems, and all
installations - there are only a half dozen or so that are. All web
designers live with this restriction.
See http://www.sitecrew.co.uk/pages/design/fonts.php for a list.

For Headings, use a graphics editor to make an image of the heading,
using the font of your choice.

<sigh>
FP doesn't have any fonts. Your PC has them.

PCs that don't have the fonts you are trying to use can't display them. How
could they?

VML is things like WordArt.
AP = absolute positioning - don't use it, use Tables to layout your site -
including graphics and text.

the "hundreds of fonts" are those on your computer - not "in frontpage".

The "web safe fonts" is a rule of thumb for web design.

You can't guarantee that a fancy font you like and have on your system is
going to be on 100,000 other users' systems.
