I am not a native speaker of Iconish, and would see the Platform field far more easily if it were textual. As it is, I spent some considerable time trying to work out on what basis you had concluded that Lucida Grande had 100% coverage, and it was only when I copied and pasted the relevant line into an earlier draft of this message that the word Mac[intosh] appeared :-( 2) The font sampler page can give very misleading impressions. I looked at the Lucida Grande page and thought it was excellent, wondering why my earlier attempts to use Lucida Grande as browser default had produced such sub-optimal results. I then realised that I have removed Lucida Grande from this machine for that very reason, so what I was seeing was in a browser default font and not in Lucida Grande. Would it be possible to include a JavaScript fragment early that can report in which font a sample page is actually being rendered ?

These changes will not correct all issues at the moment. But I think
they will put you in a better position than you are now.
Change the markup tp read:
div id=logo
!--div class=EternityRecords_TitleEternity Records/div--
h1Eternity Records/h1
/div
Amend the CSS.
From:
body {
font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
l/ine-height: 1.3em;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
font-size: 75%;
color: #333;
}
To:
body {
font: 100% Helvetica, Arial,sans-serif;
margin: 0;
background: #fff;
color: #222;
}
From:
div#logo {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
float: left;
width: 298px;
height: 75px;
b/ackground: url(mw_jooml.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
margin-left: 30px;
margin-top: 25px;
}
To:
#logo {
position: absolute;
left: 30px;
top: 30px;
width: 298px;
min-height: 75px;
}
* html #logo { height: 75px;} /* 4 IE/6.0 */
From:
.EternityRecords_Title {
left-margin: auto;
right-margin: auto;
font: italic 3.4em Palatino,Palatino Linotype, serif;
}
To:
#logo h1 {
color : #000;
font : italic 270% Palatino, Palatino Linotype, serif;
margin: 0;
}

[css-d] I need a good scripted font
www.eternityrecords.org/private/ In the top left corner of the page are the words Eternity Records set in 1.5em font size. 2 questions: 1. Does it appear to fit well in any of your browsers for the size it has to fit in (298px wide and 75px high)? 2. I need a scripted font (some sort of nice professional and easily readable font for it). Any ideas on what to use? I would also need a generic font family to use in case the browser doesn't have that particular font. Something in scripted font if possible.

It will depend on the font.

readable font for it). Any ideas on what to use? I would also need a generic

Calling a script-font is pretty much unpredictable among OSes.
You may get much better results for both size and availability using an
italic serif.
I would try:
.EternityRecords_Title {
font: italic 3.4em Palatino,Palatino Linotype, serif;
/*font-size: 1.5em;delete*/
left-margin: auto;
right-margin: auto;
}
Best,
~d
aside
The font-size you have specified for the text in the left and right
columns will be very difficult to read on landing for some sighted
viewers...
