IE 6 and Brush Script MT

Cannot get IE 6 to recognise this font

[albroun]

I am trying to use Brush Script MT font on a website and it works in IE 5, Mozilla and Opera, but not in IE6

I have even tried an overkill method (see below) but this still does not work.

-----------------------------------------------------

<td class="fantasia"><p class="fantasia"><font face="Brush Script MT">Fantasia: blah blah</font></p></td>

----------------------------------------------------
In the stylesheet:

td.fantasia
{
text-align: center;
font-weight: 900;
font-family: Brush Script MT;
font: Brush Script MT;
color: #B99E76;
font-size: 18pt;
}

p.fantasia
{
text-align: center;
font-weight: 900;
font-family: Brush Script MT;
font: Brush Script MT;
color: #B99E76;
font-size: 18pt;
}

---------------------------------------------------
All the other body styles are overcome except the font!

---------------------------------------------------
body
{background-color: #F0F8FF;
font-size: 11pt;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font: Verdana;
color: Blue;}
--------------------------------------------------

Any ideas?

Thanks

Can't help with the CSS - I'll leave that to the pro's.

But I do have a word of warning. You should really only specify system fonts for text. Users without the brush script font will not be able to see what you intend (myself included). Perhaps you would be better using brush script for headers made with gifs, and georgia, verdana, or arial for the bulk of page text.

i *think* you need to put font-family: Brush Script MT;

with quotes, like so: font-family: "Brush Script MT";

maybe

Yep, multiword font family names must be quoted. You can certainly try to specify Brush Script MT, but at least have a fallback so you can semi-control appearance. Try:

font-family: "Brush Script MT", Arial, Serif;

or something similar.
