The Gaze font will appear on any PC that it is installed on. Though viewing the source code shows you forgot the quotation marks on that particular portion of the tag -- font="gaze".
Some browsers are more forgiving than others so even if the font were available to the browser it may not show in all browsers.
Any font you choose will be displayed on any PC that has that font installed. If the font you choose is not available to the browser then it will display a "default" font as determined by the browser settings.
So, the only way I could see the "gaze" font is to install it in Windows, which it is not at this time.
As the user, I can also elect which font to specify for the browser to use -- so if I had "gaze" and liked it, I could actually view all webpages in that font.
The only way you can be nearly sure with Internet Explorer, is to use a font that is installed in Windows during a Windows installation - though even that changes with different flavors of Windows.
Keep in mind though -- folks using Linux have a different font set entirely for the browser to draw from.
Yes, fonts are a jungle:laugh:
Your best bet I suppose is choose a font that pleases you. After all, isn't that what it's all about?
Just keep in mind - others may not see it exactly as you do, but that is thier loss: peace2:
HTML parsing (if that is the right term:?: ) is a linear process. The browser reads it in a defined manner from point A to point B. At least in a perfect world:laugh:
Variations on the formation of tags can lead to strange stuff going on - sometimes it works, sometimes not.
I was just trying to help you clean up the HTML so you can achieve the best result with the most liability for folks using things besides Internet Explorer.

As to the link you asked about in the other thread, I'm not sure:?:
There is some less than desirable nesting in the tags within that sig -- I think it caused VBulletin to not place the 'target="__blank"' which the forum software would normally do.
A fine example I suppose of that point A to point B thinking that I was speaking of.
