You've set the font on your page to 'Arial', which is a Microsoft only
font. So for those of us who don't use Microsoft the page is almost
unreadable. Would you mind either not setting a font at all or setting
it to 'sans-serif'?

Your the first person to tell me that.  To my knowledge all of the pages are
in Arial bold.  That would be some work to fix.    If sans-serif is a font I
don't have it.  I make up the pages with Word and I think Bill Gates wan't
me to use Microsoft fonts.  I wonder if anybody has an easy solution to
this?  Please don't turn this into a I hate Microsoft thread.

I run on a Unix machine, and I don't have arial either.  However, I have
no problem reading it since Netscape automatically substitutes helvetica.

Most other pages that set fonts use HTML like:
<FONT FACE="Helvetica,Arial" ...

to give a list of fonts that the browser can use.  If the browser doesn't
find any it have, it may try known substitutes and if that fails it will
use a default variable-width font, which you set in preferences.  I can't
tell you what other browsers do since I don't use them.

Thanks for the HTML help. Well I hope I didn't break anything in the process. I changed all the "FONT FACE = Arial" to have "FONT FACE =Arial, Helvetica, Sans Serif".
