Well I finally tried to solve my font problem. On some sites that I have visited, the webpages wouldnt view properly because the fonts werent working. For example, when I visit Craig’s website at [www.miniml.com](http://www.miniml.com/) , all his text displayed in my Internet Explorer comes up symbols like Dingbats. IE chose Western European (Windows) as character encoding but the text wouldnt display properly. When I tried Central European, the text finally worked. Everytime you go to a website, does IE choose the appropriate encoding? Because now eveytime I visit [miniml.com](http://miniml.com), i just get the wierd characters, I have to manually change it to Central European. I dont think anyone else is having my problem. Also, it worked in Firefox first time round but thats not the main issue.

Can anyone give me some light on this issue of mine?
