I really like the look of "old typewriter" font. I've tried using it on my business card and now my website. But people say it's hard to read. http://sorrentofilms.com/about.html

Any alternatives? aside from plain New Courier?

I can read your page just fine, personally. Sure, there's alternatives, but why not just increase your smallest font size by about 50%?

I have to agree, it appears blurry. Is that a grungy version of the font ?
Go with a cleaner version and it might be ok.

However, using ALL graphics for even text is not a good idea at all.

Sorry, I don't understand. You mean it needs pictures?

No, that's not what I mean. The page you posted is made up completely of images. There's no ACTUAL text on the page and that is not good.

I'm confused. The page I posted is ALL text, there are no images or anything moving.

No, the only text on that page that is not within an image is the e-mail link. Which means that search engines and screen readers will not recognize it as text. I looked back at the source code and checked. It is better to either embed the font in the page or use sifR to do a Flash-based approximation of it while still retaining it as text within the code of the page itself.
