When I view my web site from another computer, yet we're both using the same
browser, the text is shown in a different font, and some lines of text wrap
to the next line differently from when I view it on my computer. Any remedies
for this? Thanks.
 
Yes.

1. Use only websafe fonts. What are you using?
2. Make sure that the View | Text Size setting of both browsers is the
same.
 
Murray,

Thanks for your prompt reply. I am using the font: Gulim. I suppose this is
not a web safe font? Where is a list of web safe fonts? Thanks again.
 
Chris-
#1 Font issue. A browser can only display fonts that are on
the local machine. Stick with common ones for best results,
or use an imaging progam to create a graphic of the test

#2 Size issue. If the display settings are different, this
will happen alot. Best thing to do is to place everything
in tables based on percentage of screen size.

Definitely not. If you must use this font, you would have to a) make it a
graphic, or b) use something like sIFR technology -

Websafe font list is depressingly short -

PC
Arial, Verdana, Trebuchet, Georgia, Times New Roman, Courier New, serif,
sans-serif, monospace (I think that's all)

Mac
Helvetica, Verdana, Trebuchet, Georgia, Times, Courier, serif, sans-serif,
monospace.

Read 'em and weep.
 
No, just plain sans serif.
