Why does text display differently in HTML (Firefox) on Ubuntu compared to Windows 7?

When viewing the HTML and CSS code in Firefox on Windows, everything appears fine. However, when I view it in Firefox on Ubuntu, it looks out of place. How can this be corrected? Any suggestions?

Additional information: The CSS code used for the text shown in the attached image is as follows:

style="font-family:'Museo 300'; 
font-size:11px; 
text-align:left; 
color:#636466; 
padding-top:3px;"

Even though I am changing the font from Museo 300 to Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif to ensure compatibility across different browsers with default fonts, the issue still persists.

Answer №1

It appears that the font you're trying to use is not available on your Ubuntu machine. To solve this issue, you can manually add the font yourself. Google Fonts offers a convenient solution for this.

You can browse through their collection to find a suitable font and then include it in your website's <head>.

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

Next, you can apply the font in your CSS code:

font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;

If Google Fonts doesn't have the Museo font you desire, you can utilize the @font-face CSS At-Rule to link to a font file hosted on your own site. Ensure that the font file includes only the necessary languages, weight, and style to improve loading speed.

@font-face {
    font-family: 'My Custom Font';
    src: url('http://yoursite.com/yourfontfile.ttf') format('truetype');
}
p.customfont { 
    font-family: 'My Custom Font', Verdana, Tahoma;
}
