Font problem..
Poster: helpME
Dated: Thursday May 1 2003 - 1:20:46 BST
Ok, my menu's are working fine for me.. But, when someone else views my page, it turns my font, into times new roman or something.. Does person viewing the page need to have the font on their comp? If so, is there a way to do that without having them download it? or am I going to have to use images for my menus? Also, the submenus are perfect for me, but offset for others.. could this be because font? My URL is below..PLEASE help.. thanx

First and foremost - you removed all of the copyright information from the array. Part of the requirement for using the menu is that information be left intact.
Next, please license the script and place your license number in a comment in the script.
Move your script calls from the <head> to the first items in the <body>.
Now for your question. I've been at this a long time and have never heard of the font 'Gradl'. Next to nobody (if anybody at all besides you!) is going to have that on their machine. It's not a standard font. If you're going to insist on using it you must also include some optional fonts in your array for those folks who don't have it installed. Since you have only the one choice listed, when the system can't find it the system default is then used - Times.

I know that there are ways to set up your page so that the font downloads when someone without it (probably most people as John points out) visits the page. But this would be undesireable -- additional downloads required to view a page usually are -- and may not work across browsers. Better to offer alternative, standard fonts as John suggest, by supplying a comma-separated list of font names in the menu's style array.
