Web Fonts
So far fonts for websites were dependent on the users computer and which fonts were in the code. If the font is installed on the end-users computer, the font showed like intended. If not, the font would change to the default font. So rather then guessing what the design might look like on the visitors computer web designers would use common fonts to make sure they would know what it would like without surprises.
Now google has introduced web font that can be linked in the code and doesn’t need to be installed on the end-users computer to show.
We give it a thumbs-up!!! Find out how to work with google web fonts.

Why does my website look different on my computer?
Websites can look quite different on different computers depending on what browser are installed and if you have a Pc or a Mac. The differences in a Pc and a Mac are mostly the way they render color but also the fonts they use as defaults.
The biggest difference though is the browser. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Opera are the most common. We test our websites to display properly on most versions of these common browsers. Older version of Internet Explorer display a lot of bugs. Unfortunately, a lot of businesses without a computer person just stay with the old version and never upgrade.

Testing Websites in IE
As a web designer I have always stuggled with the way Internet Explorer renders the websites. Every verison renders the page different, especially IE6 and IE7.
Not knowing, what your customer uses, it can be tricky since it might look great on your computer but not on theirs.
The website browsershots.org is great but it takes an aweful long time to load and you only have a few reqests before it asks you to upgrade to a pro-account.
In addition to that it’s not that user friendly. All I’m really worried about is IE since these are the once with the most bugs.
This great free program lets you enter the URL and you can see all the IE versions and how they render your website very fast.
