Darryl, you made two perfect sentences!! Well done, you're probably one of the best Dutch-speaking Americans in Ohio now :-)



Thanks Martin...I think it's because I have such a good teacher....I may even go out and buy an English/Dutch dictionary and start annoying you with sentences in Dutch! :-)....off post of course, so I don't annoy everyone else any more than I already have...

lol thanks, that's a big compliment for me!

I've read your email and made changes on my site already, thanks for the tips!

Oh btw, I'm currently working on a small diorama which show two SS'ers giving covering fire so the rest of the squad can cross the street. An American squad takes cover. One of them is hit and is pinned down behind a left behind PAK. Will post some pics soon!

Martin,
You are making a rather typical mistake (if I can call it that) with your font selection. You have specified a non-system font (Copperplate Light) which may OR may not exist on a users computer. To fix this you could specify multiple fonts with your selected font of choice being first. Like so...

< font face="verdana, arial, helvitica, sans-serif" >

The fonts that are default for most PCs are:

Arial, Verdana, Helvetica (macs), Times New Roman

Hope that helps.

Jim

Ah, that would explain why some computers do show the correct font and some don't!

I don't realy understand your explanation how I to fix it. Could you try to explain what I have to do in stept? Like:

1 - open the file-menu...
2 - select options...

etc etc

Or could any Dutch-speaking member help me out?

Grt and thanks, this is realy usefull as I didn't understood what the problem with the fonts was!

Jim beat me to the default Font answer. Jim is refering to the actual HTML tags inside the 'code' of the page. I think it may depend on what Web Design (front page, text editor) tool you are using as far as the 'how' to fix it step by step goes.

Nobody who can help me with the font problem??

Btw, made a few changes:

- If you open a photopage (for example, the cromwell page), this page will open in a new window.
- I've added a figure page, with my first 1:16 figure

From my limited experience with web development - one way to esure the Fonts will be what you want is to take the HTML tags in staff_jim post and embed them in the body of the page just before the text then end them with the
