I need some help--the Alleycat ICG font I've specified is not being presented by Netscape (works fine with IE).

<H1>The <font face="alleycat icg"font size=36pt>Borderline</font> Boaters</H1><center>

The other fonts are set by css--perhaps I have to set a span or something? Or is Alleycat simply not supported by Netscape, and I'll have to use a different font? (Litterbox ICG does'nt work either)

Thanks for any help.

<H1>The <font face="alleycat icg"font size=36pt>Borderline</font> Boaters</H1><center>
Many errors in that.

Of course you should use CSS. Something like
<h1>The <span style="font: 36pt 'alleycat icg';">Borderline</span> Boaters</h1>

And don't use points as it is for printing, use px (pixels) instead.

Many users will not have that font on their systems. You need to set up a chain of fallback fonts.

<font style="font:normal normal 36pt 'alleycat icg', verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> would provide alternatives (substitute in fonts that have a face similar to alleycat. Note also that since alleycat icg has a space, it is bound in single quotes. The different faces are separated with commas.
