Fonts/text different in browser

[cgrosso74]

I am using one of Contributes templates. When I view the pages in edit mode,
the main title and fonts look normal. Once I publish them I look in a browser
online, and the font is different and/or the line spacing is off. The site is:

[url]www.notionpics.com/addy2005.htm[/url]

this page and the links from it are the pages in question. And it's the title
where it says "NOTION PICTURES" that is incorrect...any help is appreciated.

You have used non-websafe fonts:

font-family: XctasySansMedium;
font-family: Skia;

I know it's a drag, but if the font isn't installed on the visitor's system
(like mine), your visitor won't see them.

Here are your choices -

If you want to use other fonts, then you have two alternatives -

1. Make the desired text into an image with that font, or
2. Use sIFR, a method of replacing text with a Flash movie containing the
desired font.

The latter method is dependent on your visitors having the Flash plugin
installed, and can be read about in detail here -

About sIFR, can this technique be used in sites that we are going to allow
our clients to update using Contribute 3?

If so, are there any downsides to it?

afaik- no easy way for a Contribute user to edit the things needed to change
the text that is handled with sIFR Flash substitution.

[Murray *TMM*]

Actually, once the sIFR is set up, all the user would need to do would be to
change the text within the replaced tag. For example -

<h1>This text is replaced with sIFR</h1>

CT will allow you to edit that text for sure....
