[KLUG Members] HTML Weirdness

[Brandon Rasler]

The font tag has been depreciated, font styling should now be done with
css.  If you are only wanting to use that font for a name heading you could
use a font replacement technique, with a little php, text is replaced with a
graphic of the font.  Then you don't have to worry about the client having
the correct font loaded on their machine.

Here is a link to a great tutorial:

Good Luck
