Font size

Two different people have told me that my index page title Picture Frames Made Special is messed up on their pc. The word special is on the next line down and hidden behind another group of words. What would make this happen?? Is it a setting on their pc?

Re: Font size

Probably not. It is messed up when I look at it with IE7 too.
Looks like you have made a shape and a text box and placed it over your header, and it is opaque and blocks the header from being seen.

Re: Font size

Wow thats frustrating because I don't know how to fix it when I can't see what it is doing??? Can you also tell me what you do see that's lined up right?

WEll sionce I don't know how things are supposed to be it is hard to sayu. But, at the header I see 3 textboses:
Making Great Stuff
Picture Frames Made
and Perfect frames made for you boy or ....

The last one is sitting on top of what looks like the word 'Special', not in a text box, on your header.
Does this help?

One way to find out if you ahve accidentally layered something is to rig***lick on the thing and move it back, so see if something else comes forward when you do.. Follow me?

Re: Font size

yes I do follow. I'm using firefox and I just checked it using IE7 and it's ok on both. Picture frames made special is all on the same line and it is sitting inside the shape box just like the other 2 text boxes........if the work special has fallen down to the next line on yours and not mine I wonder if it has something to do with whether or not you have on your pc the same font that I used and if not, then it's being substituted with another font automatically and the size is too big?? let me check what I am using to see it you have it...........

Re: Font size

Man I can't believe I didn't think of that! You MUST use a web-friendly font or this will undoubtedly happen again and again, as only the people with your font installed will see it right..
Do a forum search as I know there are posts o nthis topic.
Alternatively, you can make a banner using a paint program of some kind (paint.net is good and free download) , use whatever font and image you wantsave it as a jpeg and that will work.

Re: Font size

Re: Font size

no I have to fix the last text box to match. It matches on mine because it is the bradley hand ITC. It will match soon..........thanks for noticing and bringing it up.
