I’m getting sporadic reports of users seeing our website with the Comic Sans font. This is obviously highly undesirable.

We use the Lobster Google web font which I strongly suspect is the one being rendered as Comic Sans.

Our homepage is http://www.scirra.com, can anyone tell me why it’s falling back to Comic Sans for some people?

    It’s because your font stack reads:

    font-family: 'Lobster', cursive;
    

    Comic Sans is a cursive family font. So if lobster fails to load from the google font api, comic sans is a valid fallback font.

    Personally, I have nothing good to say about the viability of Google Font API, so I would recommend you use @font-face to achieve your desired affect.

    edit: woah, I just took a look at your web page and realized what i was looking at. So, on a personal note I’d just like to say I’ve used the scirra free edition to help me learn some stuff with the Canvas and I think it’s an awesome product, so if you’re a member of the team I just wanted to say thanks.
