hi

i’m working on a site on a mac. i’m using gillsans for for fonts. the file will be passed back and forth between me and the programmer wh works on a pc, he doesn’t have gillsans so there is an obvious font campatibilty issue there.

however, IF he did have gillsans, would the font issue persist given we work on different platforms??

thanks :s
