Web site normal text

[Joe]

Hello,

Would you help me out for a second.

I am using FP2002, and have made a simple CSS file
that contains the following info:

p { margin-left: 20 }
textarea { font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 12pt }
select { font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 12pt }
Body { background-color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;
font-size: 12pt; margin-top: 0; margin-left: 0 }
h1 { font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 24pt; font-weight:
bold }
h2 { font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 18pt; font-weight:
bold }
h3 { font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 14pt; font-weight:
bold }
h4 { font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 12pt; font-weight:
bold }
h5 { font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 12pt }
h6 { font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 10pt }
Normal { font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 12pt }

My problem is on my computer it looks as designed using Arial, but on my
other computer(2) the normal font I used for most of my text shows up in
Times New Roman, which makes the page look terrible.

All the h's stay Arial.

I realize that this browser(2) is set to use Times New Roman if no font is
specifically specified, but I thought I addressed this in the CSS.

What can I do to make sure all computers will use the Arial font
when surfing my site?

Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Joe

That's weird, especially h's displaying in a different font that other
characters (if I understand you correctly). That makes me wonder if there's
some problem with the way the Arial font is installed. You might try copying
Arial from \windows\fonts on computer 1 to \windows\fonts on computer 2.

Check your browser settings, too. This might be a language issue.

As a point of interest, you may want to code

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

sans-serif is a "generic" font name that tells the browser to use whatever
sans-serif font it can find.

Is any of the page content in a table
- CSS does not cascade into tables well
Add default styles for td, th, and caption tags

td, th, caption { font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 12pt }
