If you post your CSS, we will be able to better help you.
Something else to think about, as well: are you using special fonts that need to be included with @font-face rules or with special link tags in your HTML head? Are you using fonts that you need to link a path to locally within the site itself, and perhaps the path is broken or the fonts aren't there?

1,865 Points<span>Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. </span>
