How can I check whether my site fonts are ok on other computers?

5 replies
Ideally without giving it to (a great bunch of) marketers? lol

I just want to check that everyone else sees what I see.
(making sure my sight is setup correctly)

(I'm on a mac if that makes a difference)

Thanks!

    Use browsershot.com. This site allows you to see what your site looks like in any version of a broswer.

    I personally to double check if my site looks the way I want it to on all major browsers. Definitely recommended if you're outsourcing web design to a freelancer.

      Great call by George about browsershot but sometimes it can get *really* busy and take an age to render your images in the queue.

      For those looking for a very quick (almost instant!) view of how their sites will render in many versions of IE try;

      IE NetRenderer - Browser Compatibility Check -

      This is particularly useful to us Mac people.

    stick to the list Brian gave and you'll be fine.

    chalkboard... is a no go. sorry.

    I use a lot of centry gothic myself which is one he didn't mention. Impact is another one (I think) that is cross platform compatible.

    I'm all about that bass.
