Font style and web browser

[aldro]

According to the CSS of my layout, the main font type should be Tuffy Regular. I have this font installed on my computer. The maker of the layout said that the layout is compatible with Mozilla Fiefox, Google Chrome and Safari.

I use Firefox on my desk computer and I've noticed that the main font is different. It looks like Arial or some other basic font. However, when I'm on my laptop which has Google Chrome, it shows the Tuffy font. I'm wondering what causes this, can anyone tell me? Thanks in advance!


P.S. I havent't asked the designer of the layout, because I found it at Livejournal and have since deleted my account there.

Are you at the point in working with CSS where you know how to poke at a style to change some colours or fonts, but anything beyond that is guesswork?

You know, where you want that thing over there, so you try display: block and float: left and when that doesn't work you get out the position: absolute?

If so, you might enjoy a quick and fun tutorial that will show the basics of layout.

Learn CSS Layout is a modern, up to date set of quick lessons demonstrated right on the page with code and examples that show you how things work in a browser.

The site is done up in bright, fun colours, painlessly exposes you to a bit of HTML5 and will get you started with moving things around.

I also like that the more info links are to serious, grown-up sites with guaranteed quality information (so no old forum posts or W3Schools)
