How about a screen share?
Your typography is fucked. Some of the links show Verdana (look at the capital `i` in “Investment Philosophy”). That’s Verdana.
Now, look at the `Q` in “FAQs”. That doesn’t resemble Verdana or CartoGothic but rather Arial.
Therefore, I can tell that both sections are not rendering appropriately.

Screen share?
On Linux, Chrome (Version 27.0.1453.110)

Yeah, we didn’t do the CSS some vendor did. This is why we usually do our own, things like that happen.
Emailing you now.
Great.
@alenabdula I get the same thing.
We found that the server is running IIS and adding mime types to htaccess still does not take effect.
Oddly enough, Firefox is the main issue and apparently so is IE but Chrome renders.
I’m assuming it’s a cross-site blocking issue.
The answer to this problem was this bit of code in the htaccess file:
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin “*”
AddType application/vnd.ms-fontobject .eot
AddType font/ttf .ttf
AddType font/otf .otf
AddType application/font-woff .woff
Apparently Firefox (and I’m guessing IE) doesn’t allow cross-domain fonts, and since the page experiencing the issue was http while the rest of the site was https – that must count as cross-domain. Here’s a site that does a better job of explaining it:

big thanks to @ChrisBurton – he’s a font super-hero and a talented web developer.
I actually suck at web development. IIS is known to have issues with serving fonts and having to set mime types to load them. But I’m glad we solved it.
