Are your website fonts showing correctly in web browsers?

A question we sometimes get from our website development clients is "why is the font we used in our graphic design not displaying correctly on my website?".

The question is best answered by understanding how fonts are displayed on your computer. In desktop publishing and graphic design software (eg, PDF, PSD file types), you are able to view any font of any style no matter how fancy or plain, because the font will have been embedded within the graphic file*.

iStockPhoto is a great service. They are cheap and you can find a photo of just about any subject you can think of. But clients should be aware that there are restrictions when it comes to the image licensing. Once an image is purchased, it does not give you free reign to use it wherever and however you choose.
