I am beginning to wonder how my webpages look on a computer using Windows. The pages look perfect to me, but someone told me a photo was covering up some of the text, and when I went to print one of my pages from the website, the printed copy showed that the fonts were messed up, there was text on top of text and numbers and bullets together, yet the page looks perfect on screen. I'm not sure why this is, nor what I can or should do about it.
Please take a look at the pages via the link in my signature, and let me know if the pages are in good order at your end, or whether it looks like a six-year-old put it together! It would be useful to know what browser you are using and what operating system.
I use Firefox and Safari and it looks fine to me. The font used is Hoefler Text throughout. I think.
Many thanks.

Made on a Mac; How does it look in Windows?

This is how it should look (the entire page doesn't fit in a single screenshot):

Also on my Computer, Windows XP, but the boxed writing comes a little further down into the 3rd line of writing about 'Betty'. Other pages are as they should be.
Still a joy to look at, & how lucky are you to have all of those great photos?
One day perhaps I'll venture into a similar output.Happy Families

I wonder if it's got something to do with screen resolution as well as font. It's frustrating to me that some people are not seeing it as intended. Especially as I try to make it look neat and organised and easy to read.

Well I can see only half a page and you have put Surrons(should it be Suttons?) but I think if I could see more it would be very nice. I like the design of that half a page.
Will now go and look at it on lapop (Vista) and see how it looks on there.
How anyone can do a web site is beyond my ken.... but I know what I like to see and ease of use is another thing that is most important. The colour is good on yours.... easily readable.M

Marie - thanks for pointing our the typo - I'd missed that one. I've corrected it now.
Thank you all for the input - it sounds as though you're seeing it as it should appear, so I'm not sure why it changes when I try to print it, nor why some people are seeing it all wrong.

It has a brown tweed background and a whitey page with black lettering and at the top it has the title in coffee latte colour and a sort of flourish each side.
There is quite a lot of brown tweed either side of the white page.
It won't let us click onto anything so we can't see how the links work but overall I think it looks very good. M
