You can see the http://www.emeraldbiostructures.com/company.htm page correctly
because they did the correct HTML coding:
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">
What they did wrong was set size 2 (which can get too small). You were NOT
seeing the verdana font, you were seeing the helvetica font. If you insist
on using verdana, you have to cover your ass for those sites that don't
have verdana, like you.
The following pages are coded INCORRECTLY:
http://jaeger.morpheus.net/
http://www.emeraldbiostructures.com/buffers.htm
The HTML code looks like:
<font face=verdana size=-1 color=#ffffff>
<FONT FACE="verdana">
First off, it only contains one font, a MicroSh!t only font. Not all Linux
systems will have that font installed and lots of other Unix system CAN'T
install the font. So, you MUST create HTML that works across ALL platforms,
and that means listing several fonts in the code. Don't forget the
double-quotes.
