• I’m new to building websites, and I’ve almost sorted out all of my problems. I am using the premium theme called PictureThis. It looks great on Chrome, and runs smoothly. However, on Firefox and IE, the website has a completely different font. The catch is, when I used a free host with this theme installed, it looked good on Firefox. I recently switched to Host Gator, and now it looks different. It’s not just my computer – I have had a couple friends check the website on their browsers, and they’re are having similar results as me. Any ideas? Thanks.

    My website is:

    You are using the cufon font replacement, try moving all the cufon scripts right before the </head> tag and don’t use @import to call the css files into the header.

    Thank you guys for the responses. Harrison, how would I go about doing it? I’m very new to this. Could you explain with more detail? I go into Header.php, and what @import line(s) am I removing? What scripts am I moving, and how do I know which ones?

    I’m really sorry, I do not mean to double post, but if anyone knows how to re-arrange the code to what Harrison is suggesting – here is the Header.php.

    You’ll probably get more help from themeforest where you purchased the theme — commercial themes are not generally supported here — it’s part of what you paid for.

    The designer’s support forum is where I went first. To be honest, he seems to know less than me. He was unable to answer a majority of the questions that users were asking him, and instead, points them to another website/company. I asked him about it, but he did not even address the issue. At this point, I’m just desperate to fix this.

    Unfortunately, I don’t know anything about cufon fonts –though I’ve seen other people have problems with them. And I’m not sure what he means about not importing stylesheets either. Frankly, you might want to try another theme — as you may well continue to be frustrated with that one. Along those lines, is there supposed to be more visible on the home page than just the white text — your name, page name and menu on the left side? That’s all I see — no images or anything like that…

    It is a pretty cool theme — but if it’s a big pain…maybe not worth it? And like I said, you may or may not get help here since it’s a commercial theme.

    Well, I’m in the process of learning how to design/develop my own website, so I probably won’t look for another theme. This is one of the best themes that I’ve seen, with the fewest problems. I have tried a few others, but they also have issues – bigger and more frustrating ones than this. As for the content, I haven’t bothered to add any, until I fix all the bugs. I don’t want to commit too much time to a theme that I may not even use. I plan on using this theme, until I can properly create my own design. I’m hoping Harrison or another reader can help, because I also know nothing about Cufon fonts. Someone mentioned to me that I should use CSS3, and I’m not sure how to go about doing that.

    CSS3 just refers to the most recent CSS coding standard — yes, it’s always good to be on top of current coding, BUT do be aware of browser support for various new features and functionality:

    Can anyone do what Harrison suggested?
