Wow, your browser is pretty screwed up. Check your preferences to see if you can tell it what fonts to use for generic sans-serif. You didn't mention what platform you're using, and IE is very different on Mac vs. Windows, but my version of Mac IE has options under Languages/Fonts to allow me to set my own defaults for the generic font families. Alternately, reinstall IE. Alternately, reinstall Windows. Alternately, install Opera or Mozilla or Safari. Alternately, install Linux. :) The point is, though, that your browser as currently functioning is quite broken because it's displaying a font you don't want it to display. You should be able to correct this problem through configuration. If not, then there's something wrong with your browser. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain http://idyllmtn.com Author, CSS in 24 Hours http://cssin24hours.com Inland Anti-Empire Blog http://blog.kynn.com/iae Shock & Awe Blog http://blog.kynn.com/shock
