Hi all,

I am using a non browser safe font on a gradient background. The main issue that I am having with this is that if someone does not have the same font installed - it will not display the writing as I would like it to. I am thinking about pasting the image if the writing on the gradient background - but having tried a couple of times - the alignment isn't there (e.g. the image that is being pasted does not stay consistent with the gradient background). The website url is:

http://www.dmucomputing.co.uk/test/contactus.php

The section in question is the section on top (red gradient with "DMUComputing - Contact Us written on it.

Does anyone have any ideas about the best way for me to do this?

Thanks.

What is the font name?

If it really isn't a browser safe font, you could just make it into an image.

In this case, you might want to look into SIFR, works great for non-standard fonts, especially for headings.
