Would be a lot better if the web site supported Firefox …

Hey Neil

The site supports Firefox completely. Its a good cross-browser site and works fine on all browsers.

What issues are you facing?

I am using Firefox 3.0.7 and Windows XP SP3. When I go to the fonts page, e.g. http://www.fontburner.com/tag/script/, the fonts all display in Ariel or something similar. If I use IE or IETab, they display fine.

I have checked the site on the same OS and Browser and it is working fine. I suggest you check if some Javascript/related configuration is bothering you.

Hope that helps.
