problem with site fonts

ramesh · 04-16-2004, 01:32 AM

in my system i have only the windows default fonts, nothing extra.
but if i visit some sites, instead of letters i see small and big rectangles, i know this happens because of the lack of the specific font (in my system) in which the page was designed.

is there any way to solve the problem or which font should i download to view that page.?

What kind of sites are these happening in? Because it could just be that your visiting a Chinease site and your computer doesn't know how to handle the Chinease characters.

That font is just Arial. It's a pretty standard font, you should have it...

Could you take a screenshot of what it looks like?

does it ask you to get some plugins?
like flash or any icons in those "big rectangles"?
