Hi,
I have just uploaded a new version of our website (www.eclecticbliss.co.uk) however most of the main text font (travelling typewriter) cannot be seen when viewed on my wife's work computer, or on the iphone - why is this?
The banner and footer font styles are ok, however the font used in each page main body is not what I have used in the design of the site?
Help!

Hello Mike,
As JBr said, if you used a non-standard font, it won't be visible if it's not installed on the target computer.
There are so many ways to include a non standard font in your project. Here some examples:

JBr/Claudio,
Perfect - thank you for the explanation! Am I right then if I changed the text areas on the website to images (by using something like photoshop to save text as a jpeg) then the original font would be shown?
Thanks!
It is ok if you don't care about SEO and Search Engines. They cannot index text inside images.
Personally, I usually use standard fonts instead of custom fonts or text converted to images.
