Hi guys,
Happy Holdays.
I noticed over the past month or so, certain websites that I go to have a weird font on them that kinda looks like that really old jaggedy text you’d see in a book from the 1700’s.
And it also has those little squares that you’d see with a font that didn’t include certain puntuation marks and capital letters. (hope ya know what I mean. dunno what their called, but it’s like a square space filler for missing characters in some fonts.) When I first noticed it… it was on a graphic artist’s website, and just kinda thought…"Hmmm… weird, ugly font this dude is using here.".
But now I see it on a lot of sites.
On sites where they use a few different styles of font.
And kinda think…it’s not the website…but maybe that I’M missing that font, and IE6 is substituting another font for it or something. But I haven’t deleted any fonts lately. Could the web designers have just included some oddball font, and my browser is substituting it with a grainy, weird one?
Here’s the graphic dudes website. When i view this page…most everything on it is jaggedy, with the letters all uneven, and their are those square "spacers" every so often.

And I noticed it on Amazon.com… I see it like every so often. Like where they might use a different font on a page someplace… one paragraph or title will have the same weird jaggy text.
It’s no real big deal… but I just can’t figure what the Hell is going on.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
