eeww you're right...that sucks.  I kinda think I know where this came 
from then.  I have CrossOver Office installed with Excel 97.  (Used for 
testing HSSF).  I'll betcha I got the TrueType fonts that came with it. 
 So that would make sense why the page would look fine for me and not 
you.  (BTW OT but Office loads faster on Linux than on Windows and is way

Mr. Nicola Ken uses a sorry excuse of an operating system and is 
complacent in the fight against the forces of evil.  Or maybe he just 
LIKES rebooting a lot.  So he'd not notice that he used improper fonts. 
;-)  We'll work on fixing this.  Thanks for volunteering to help us out 
in testing.
