Hi Guys

Site here www.georgiebrocklehurst.com/

My client would like to use Gill sans throughout the site. Please see page grab of what my settings are. Is this correct?

or how else can I get this to work?

Also when i view in firefox to me it looks like gill sans but in mac safari it looks like something else...why is that when both browsers are on my imac computer?

Thanks for looking

Hi

I may quite well be wrong on this as I'm PC user but I think for some reason mac fonts are 1pt size smaller

Cheers

Hey Peter,

Some of the fonts in the font stack are mac only - we did that to provide the option as it's not an issue for some people. If your client needs to have the exact font displaying on the page then you may have to choose a stack that contains fonts as default for all os's. We tried to match the fonts in each stack as best as possible plus drew upon some existing resources for compiling them.

Hope this helps.

Hi

So what I have set is the best option then?

Also some people will have their browsers set differently so to ignore what site are stacked.

Hi Peter,

I think your set a good bet - I'd personally got with it.
I'd turn off Typekit also
