I have had this problem a few times already and looking at the GNU website, this comes up: [http://img207.exs.cx/img207/4854/error4nb.jpg](http://img207.exs.cx/img207/4854/error4nb.jpg) . Does anyone know how this happened? Am I missing the font the author used? I don’t know how though because it would have been most likely been a Windows font.

:: all they use is for the body area, the css is simply font-family: sans-serif;  
and not something specific like : Verdana;
