The home page looks fine for me, but funnily, but in this thread (and only this thread, in ever other thread it looks fine), the side bar looks like this. I'm using Firefox, by the way

my guess (talonman would probably know the answer) is a server load issue. I saw something similar right before talonman cut off the new sigs.

I have a similar issue with FF on Linux, while FF on Windows shows VGC's home page just fine... Maybe it's a problem of missing fonts?

When I use Ubuntu Linux and don't install MS Core Fonts (I think that was the name), the sales numbers and the format looks broken.

The MS Core Fonts fixes it. I also think there is open versions of MS fonts out there that might work.

Hey, thanks a lot, it solved! I suspected it was a missing fonts issue, but not knowing the packet name simply searching "fonts" with the packet manager gave far too many results.

For those interested too in this issue, the packet's complete name is "msttcorefonts", "Microsoft True Type Core Fonts" in the packet description.

No problem. :) Good that it did work out! What Linux based system do you use?

Another solution would be having the fonts on VGC changed to something that already exist in Linux from start, but the problem might be that no font would look as good as it does now.
