Dynamic Fonts

If you can not see dynamic fonts in your web browser, please review the following information to make sure you're using the latest technology.

Use the Right Browser

To view dynamic fonts, you need to download Internet Explorer for Windows, or download Netscape 4.x for Windows, Unix, or the Macintosh. Note that dynamic fonts do not work in Netscape 6, Netscape 7, or Internet Explorer for the Macintosh.

Also, if you are using both Windows 95 and Internet Explorer for Windows, you should download the Microsoft Font Smoother. Font Smoother is included with later versions of Windows, and is a free download from Microsoft for Windows 95 users only.

Reloading or Refreshing the Page

If the dynamic fonts do not appear to be loading, press the Reload or Refresh button on your browser while holding down the Shift key. This forces the browser to reload the entire contents of the page.

Give Time to Download the Font

If your dynamic fonts do not seem to be loading, make sure you allow enough time for downloading the fonts to your browser. Download times vary, depending on the size of the dynamic font and the speed of your connection to the Internet.
