Yes, I did notice that there were many very tiny "red boxes" where images
were supposed to have been, but this was not my principle consternation.
I was more concerned about the fonts not loading. When the page is viewed
offline, the font files will load on my system. I think my setup has a
memory-handling problem.
Thanks for pointing out to us that references were being made to image files
located "below root", which is of course impossible.
