Website text spacing in dreamweaver vs browser

[McGraw]

Hi.

I knocked up a website for my partner's business, learning as I went along, a couple of years ago.

It could do with being redone as although it looks (looked) fine online, the layout is a complete mess.

However, I checked it recently and although it still looks fine in ios, the text spacing is now wrong in Firefox and ie which is ruining the layout.

It was definitely fine at some point last year and it looks fine in live view and browser preview.

Any ideas what could have changed to break this?

Thanks a lot.

Thanks.

I'm not sure about the font but I've now realised that one of the pages is showing correctly still.

If duplicating its settings doesn't help I'll post the site.

Thanks very much.

I was looking last night but I've had so much to do I've not had time to sort it.

The busy time of the year is fast approaching and I'd really appreciate some help.

I know the site is a mess and needs png and layout optimisation but for the time being I just need the words to fit in their containers so everything looks right.

Can anyone tell me why the index page is fine but the text spacing is much larger in pages such as "about" and in the tables on the price list?

Thanks again.

On the index page you have line-height at 19px and the about us page it is set at normal.

Thank you so much.

I realise your original problem is now fixed, but I strongly recommend that you replace your text images with a webfont. It would be just so much better on so many levels.

Google fonts has a few suitable candidates such as Pinyon Script and Parisienne which are free and easy to use.

Can you give specifics on why it's so bad to have the text images?

She won't want to change it.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I though I'd done them in a way which meant they were still caught by seo and screen readers.

Yeah the text isn't the easiest to read but as long as she likes it my work is done
