Hi there

Im currently using the font 'Londrina Solid' on my website - (www.michelelambertyoga.co.uk/index1)

Its not showing on my iphone though,Its using another default font.

Can this be fixed or at least is there any way i can choose a different default smart phone font?

Cheers

Londrina Solid is NOT a websafe font so it will only show on computers/devices that have that font face installed.

If you want to use a 'special' font which goes beyond the boundaries of web-safe fonts you have to use other solutions such as http://www.font-face.com/ but Londrina Solid is sure not to be part of the package.

Smart Phone display is the least of your problems

Your font is also not showing on a zillion other computers which never even heard of of that font, much less have it installed

Google "websafe fonts" to grasp the concept.

Luckily, Google fonts (it's free) will allow you to install the font into your site so it will display as you wish.

You are most welcome. Give a holler if you need help installing.

I used it on the bottom of the page here in case you want to see my code.
