Hi!
I hope this is the right forum to post this, since I'm not entirely sure that it's a CSS-related-bug, but it's my best guess...
When developing my page I mostly used Opera for previewing, and everything was fine there. Just recently, a friend of mine visited the site with IE 6 and discovered a funny bug...
My site uses a special handwriting font (SteveHandwriting (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.webpagepublicity.com/free-fonts/s/Steve%20Regular.ttf">http://www.webpagepublicity.com/free-fo ... egular.ttf</a><!-- m -->)). Now, on pages with not that much text everything works fine, but on long text pages, IE stops using the custom font in mid-sentence at some point and switches to Times, continues later with the custom font though.
If you want to try for yourself, the page is located here (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://oneoftwo.90megs.com/bug.html">http://oneoftwo.90megs.com/bug.html</a><!-- m -->) (the CSS the page accesses is of course located here (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://oneoftwo.90megs.com/css.css">http://oneoftwo.90megs.com/css.css</a><!-- m -->))
I also made a screenshot of it:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!SteveHandwriting is not a standard font, no-one else will see this font.
Get any font you want (SteveHandwriting)
btw SteveHandwriting is difficult to read, I would not recommend it for large amounts of text.I know that no one who hasn't installed the font won't be able to see the page in the way I designed it, but my site is meant for a very small group of people anyways, and they all have this font. That it's not an easily readable font... well, yes, you are not the first one to complain
I am looking for another font right now...
But I still want to know how to get rid of the bug without using a standard windows font (with Arial, Times etc. the bug doesn't seem to occur, only with fonts I myself installed).
