Re: Font Different on other computer?

You are using non-standard fonts such as:
Curlz MT
Kristen ITC

Unless you have that font on the computer viewing the site it will use an alternative if named or try to put "something" in there ...

To reliably get non-standard font text, you need to make it into an image and substitute that for the plain text.

Image Titles and Categories Dressing can help you do that.

better: use http://www.mikeindustries.com/sifr

Or even better: avoid both images and weird fonts, your site may not look extremely well, but your customers wont pretty much care, and search engine can still index your site just fine.

Re: Font Different on other computer?

Do you have any products selected to be "featured"?
That sidebox is smart - it won't show unless there is something for it to do.

Re: Font Different on other computer?

You can find the language file where that text is defined and redefine it to nothing (two single quotes: '').

In Tools > Developers Toolkit, paste [more] into the bottom left box, select all files and search. This will show the file and line number where the text is defined.
