Text help please

I'm having an issue with my text running behind a graphic on my website. I've set the text in a text box, repelled the text around the image. It looks great in my .xar file, but when I upload it, the text runs behind the image. The web address is http://www.rogerhodgsonzoo.com, and I've attached the .xar file (hope that was alright). Any help on this would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks!

Make sure you use whole pixel sizes for the fonts.

Oh - and Welcome to TG

Thanks sledger for the welome and for the quick reply. My paragraph is in a text area, so that's not the issue. Dumb question though: how do I change the font to whole pixels? For example, every time I type in "12pix," it automatically reverts to 9pt. Is there someplace I can change the settings?

Yes that's right. Type 14pix and it will 'show' as 10.5pt because you have your font units set to pt in 'Options'

Welcome Ticketyboo.

Use the Utilities > Options Menu. See attached image.

EDIT: I see Steve has answered while I was typing

Thanks! I still have the issue though, but I moved the image and resized the text area back enough where it finally looks normal in the browser. I was just hoping to avoid that.

The Xara developer for the HTML export has not been online recently. He is probably the only person that may have an accurate answer to the problem.

One other thing to be aware of, you are using a non-web standard font (Bandicoot) This will not display when live because it would require that all visitors have this font installed on their system.
