When the layout for the GRAUSBC website was changed, non-default fonts were chosen. This new layout had been tested extensively with all of the browsers except Internet Explorer (the default browser for MS Windows) without any problems. However, these fonts would not display properly on ANY version of Internet Explorer without the user making changes to their settings. The fonts have been set back to the defaults and the website should now display properly using all versions of all browsers including Internet Explorer. A big “Thank You!” to the viewers that brought this issue to my attention and worked with me to fix it. If anyone still has problems viewing the site, please contact info@grausbc.org.
