Here's the problem. I am able to see people who type in Verdana 8 font fine, but when I type in it in MS FrontPage98, recently it looks like arial once I click preview or publish a page. Here are some examples:

What I see on top, what it should look like on bottom

And the HTML is as follows:

<.html>

<.head>
<.meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<.meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
<.meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<.title>New Page 3</title>
<./head>

<.body>

<.p><.img border="0" src="differences.jpg" width="117" height="25"><./p>

<./body>

<./html>

Any Help would be appreciated. Thanks

ok,
well I have never really used frontpage, so I am not sure what the problem is there........but I do get similar bugs like that now and then...although very hard to diagnose it if I cant see it and play around.....

anyway, you should really be using css for fonts, as eventually font tags will be phased out.....

<style>
.mystyle{
font-family:verdana, arial;
font-size:12px
color:#000000;
}
</style>

<p class="mystyle">asdfasfd</p>

hope that helps....
