Can you check my embedded fonts

[ChrisHunt]

I'm having a go at using embedded fonts on one of my sites, but one of my visitors tells me that he gets wingdings characters when he tries to view it.

The site in question is

http://www.mcgonagall-online.org.uk

. The pale yellow rhyming couplet in the title box should appear in a font called "Viner Hand ITC" if you're on IE (or have that font installed), it should appear in another script font if you use Netscape or Opera. That's what it does on my PC, but what does it do on yours? (btw, Embedding fonts seems pretty nifty, if you can get it to work, search for "WEFT" on the Microsoft site for a free tool that lets you do it).

Any other comments on the design of the site would be welcome (the content's rather fun too!)

Using IE 6 worked ok on my machine. It's not a lie if you believe it!

Worked fine for me too. Even tried it on IE5 on a Mac and it looks fine!

I'm guessing that user either doesn't have the font installed you're trying to use, or maybe has one of the default fonts inadvertantly set to Wingdings.

IE6 - it looked fine
NN4.76 - the font showed OK (although the tables looked a little screwy)
NN7.0 - The font was subsituted with what looked like Comic Sans so at least I could still read it. Hope I helped / Thanks for helping
