I'm pleased with how my site - primrose-music.co.uk - looks on my Mac (Safari, Chrome & Firefox) but the font (Helvetica) does not look so good in Windows (IE, Chrome, Firefox). I doubt it somehow, but could this be because I'm looking at Windows on a virtual machine? Or maybe I should change the font....? Advice gratefully received. |

I don't know anything much about Windows machines but apparently there is a problem with Helvetica which can get substituted by Arial in some cases. My web safe font of choice is Verdana since it is available on virtually all Mac and Windows machines. I recommend using it at no less than 14px for computers and 15px for mobile devices although 15/16 is a better choice for readability. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!
