I can see the Little Days font on my machine on all browsers as plenty of other people have as well when I originally posted. Here is the link again for anyone following and who would like to chime in on wether the Little Days font is rendering: http://www.e7flux.com/clients/sof/ Even a friend with a Mac can see it and I highly doubt she's got Little Days installed - I honestly don't think many people would unless they are a designer. if what you're saying is true I would have heard from the client by now about the issue. So perhaps something is going on in your machine. Perhaps you have default settings on your machine or browsers - I don't know. But I can not accept that Little Days is not rendering in any browser when I can see the font for myself on my machine. I can also see creampuff with the exception of FF. All that being said, I'm not negating that it's probably best to use absolute paths but in the case of the creampuff font not rendering in FF it didn't make a difference even when the path was changed to absolute. In fact, if you inspect the code you should see that it's an absolute path now and has been for the last several hours.
