You're using fonts that aren't "web safe", meaning they aren't installed on all pc's. If a pc doesn't have the fonts you're using installed, the user can't see them properly.

Re: Default Arial Font?

Hi,
I just created a web site for a client and I had the same problem. I solved it by creating most of the background, text and pictures in photoshop and applying in bluevoda as a background. It works great. The font stays the same, no one can download or copy the pictures individually and it doesn't shift in different browsers. In using the bluevoda navagation systems I also found that the font remained true. Hope this has been helpful, it worked for me.
