Question for readers:

January 6, 2005 by Michael Boyle

Question for readers:

I had a report yesterday from a reader that this site wasn’t rendering properly in his browser, that is to say in IE6. I am stuck with IE5.5 at work and everything’s OK, and at home in Firefox and Safari everything works well.

If you could confirm for me if everything looks OK, or let me know if text gets cut off on the left or right in your setup I would very much appreciate it. Let me know what you’re using!

    IE 6 on Windows 98

    The Layout is fine, but the font is fuzzy. There’s a unicode lucida sans font file on my machine that’s appears to be part of the standard install, and looks equally fuzzy in other applications (Firefox, Word, etc.)

    When I removed all ‘lucida sans’ declarations from your style-sheet, the problem goes away.

    Dunno if this is what he’s talking about, but hope that helps.

    Looks good in Firefox.

    Thanks everyone. I guess I’ll check back with my friend who reported the problem, cause obviously it’s not showing up for you.

    Alan, I think the font problem is on your computer. The CSS is good, and if you didn’t have the font installed it should go to Verdana, as Blork reported. Apparently you have lucida sans but for some reason it doesn’t render correctly on your machine. It’s a shame, cause it’s a lovely font that looks great on both my home Mac and my work PC.
