Hi guys, The website is looking very nice indeed, well done. Regarding the fonts issue, if it's affecting browsers that don't support the embedded font and are falling back to the CSS-specified font-family, this may be a simple issue - font family names should be regarded as case-sensitive; you've specified them all lower case but I think it should be "Lucida Grande", Tahoma, Verdana etc (but sans-serif should be lower case). Unfortunately I currently have no way of testing whether this will fix the issue but worth a try I think.
I had my first experience of playing out using Mixxx recently (a club where the DJ booth is so small it can't easily accommodate my CDJs and mixer) using an iPad with a TouchOSC map that I designed specifically for the job. I was pleased that Mixxx proved itself at least as stable and reliable as any of the commercial software in use by the other DJs, and had better sound quality than some of them. This has really matured into a fine piece of software over the past few years since I last seriously used it. Still room for improvement of course, but you can all rightly feel proud of what you have achieved.
