Typos in certain browsers

**AGCRUISE** · 14 January 2016, 04:14 AM

I am getting typos, or changed text when a web page is viewed on Mozilla and Chrome, but not IE or WD.
The text where the typos appear is normal and correct in WD, and as far as I can tell all of the characters are formatted the same. The web page in question is here:
http://wahia.org/whiac-2016.htm
Go about half way down to the paragraph titled "Type of Conference" you will see multiple typos and sometimes the same word wrong more than once - Some of the words "Investigators" 'Presentation" 'Officers". If you view it in Mozilla or Chrome the typos are there but not in IE.
Any help? I'm sure its something fundamental I am not seeing...
Thank you

If you copy & paste your faulty text into a text editor, they words show up properly. It seems to be a browser fault in rendering ligatures (ff, etc). Try using a different font to check it disappears. It is not a Xara issue.

Yes, it's the font Calibri that causes this issue. It's come up in another thread but I can't find it at present.

This might possibly bail you out - IF THE OFFENDING TEXT IS LIMITED -
For example, I often have a heading / banner / etc. using a font I have made Bold, and then Outlined. But, this font does NOT support outlined text and when viewd in ANY browser, all you see is the filled text with NO outline. Simple solution - RMB . Create Bit Map Copy. Done! This works to resolve a lot of issues. But - if this is for LOTS of text, you need to select a different font.
