    Default Site displaying differently in different browsers

    I just had a client call to tell me that there were several misspellings on their website. I opened up my Xara Web Designer 11 Premium and checked the site. I did not see ANY of the misspellings that the client pointed out. For example, on page http://cackc.org/about.htm on the left column where it reads; "Board of Directors and Officers" it displays correctly using Internet Explorer browser. However, in Google Chrome and Firefox browsers it says, "Board of Directors and Ocers". I have ftp'd in to the site and looked at the htm files with an editor and there are no misspellings in the code pages. It only displays incorrectly in Chrome & Firefox. Does this many ANY sense to anyone?

    HELP!

    You have probably used Calibri - it has missing glyphs that only IE renders.

    Change the font - sorry there is no other fix.

    It's because you're using the font Calibri. This font renders correctly in IE but FF, Chrome & Opera have missing characters.

    There's a recent thread about this. I'll give you the link shortly. Meanwhile just change the font Calibri to another font and your problem will go away
