In the site I'm creating I've set up the fonts for the Body tag
like so:
'font: small Gill Sans Light, Gill Sans, Trebuchet MS,
Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;'
(I believe that Gill Sans and Gill Sans Light are supplied as standard
with OSX. They're unlikely to be on the average PC, so Trebuchet is
for them.)
Previewing in different browsers on my Mac, I see Gill Sans Light in
Firefox, Opera and even IE Mac 5.2.3.
Safari, however, won't display Gill Sans Light - it displays Gill
Sans.
You need to use the Postscript name of the font: 'GillSans-Light' for
Safari, otherwise Safari uses the 'regular' weight
font: small 'GillSans-Light', 'Gill Sans Light', 'Gill Sans', ..
Another problem with Gill Sans is that Lotus Smartsuite shipped with some that
don't work right. Here are samples from the system font palette:
Condensed: http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/font-gillsanscond.jpg
Normal: http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/font-gillsansnorm-good.jpg
Ultra Bold: http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/SS/font-gillsansubld.jpg
WordPro can use them properly, but Gecko won't. If all three are installed,
ultra bold is what Gecko always uses if roman is requested. If you uninstall
ultra bold, then Gecko will use condensed. Gecko will only use normal
if the other two are removed from the system. That can produce some rather
strange looking pages:
