Website Redesign
Written on August 5, 2007
Spent some time doing a redesign of my website. I’ve finally put a couple of my animations up, so please take a look and let me know what you think.

Pretty cool, but Windows doesn’t ship with Gill Light Sans so here your text comes up in Times New Roman which is a bit ugh.
It looks good, except for one thing I think. On the animation page, you (read: I) have to scroll down just a little to see the whole animation frame. There seems to be enough room on top to shift it up a bit, and I run a pretty high res, so it just seems a little strange. But apart form that little niggle, sweet. Where is yr giraffe animation eh?
Ewww Times New Roman. I’ll see if I can’t fix that… Cheers for the heads up.
I just noticed that on the computer at work, but it doesn’t show up on either IE or FIrefox here at home, so it’s pretty curious. I just added something which I hope will fix it so fingers crossed.
Sadly, whatever you did still hasn’t fixed it. It doesn’t show up at your house because you have the font installed on your home machine, but it won’t work on machines without that font.
If you want to fix it, go through and change your font tags to:
if, for example, your first choice is gill sans, your second choice is eurostile (ugh) and your third choice is Arial (ugh ugh).
Hope that helps!
I meant that the fix was for not seeing the video. I hope that’s fixed, I haven’t heard of any problems since.
I haven’t yet had a go at the fonts, but I think I know how to change the font defaults for those who don’t have Helvetica New installed. Give me a few days to get around to it though :P
