Page created in IWeb not showing up correctly in High Sierra

One day I will switch but I am still running IWeb 3.0.4 on my old IMac (OS 10.7.5) for my website and up until today I have had no issues in web pages showing up correctly on my MacBook Pro running High Sierra 10.13.6. or other devices. Today I changed some text on one page of my site. The text is in Helvetica italic 20 pt. However, on Safari on my MacBook Pro, the new text shows up in a different font (like Century Gothic?), non-italic and around 14 pt. But on my IMac it shows up correctly in Safari and Firefox. Also shows correctly on Safari on my IPhone and IPad.

I have tried rebooting, redoing the text, etc to no avail. However, I have created new text boxes with the desired font type and size on other pages in the same website. These publish correctly. Does anyone know why there is a problem with just one page?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)

You probably were looking at some cached version ofd the page which did not have the correct font or whatever. Clear Safari's cache whenever you see anything that doesn't look right and reload the page.

What's the URL of the site and the problem page so we can examine it first hand?

Are you using a web safe fonts: CSS Web Safe Fonts?

Hello Old Toad (of Toad Hall). In earlier days I was known by some friends as Ratty. So, we were neighbours.

Many thanks for your reply.

Well, since my post, I havent actually checked my website on my MacBook Pro. I just did, and wouldnt you know it, the offending paragraph of text is displaying as intended, although for 2 days after I posted, it was not. If you are interested in taking a look, my website is www.lclnet.ca and the page in question is "ARD". The "offending paragraph" that was showing up in a different font and smaller font size, was the opening paragraph starting...

Acid rock drainage (ARD) and associated metal leaching can pose a significant...

By the way, I am not familiar with CSS web safe fonts. I followed your link to learn more. Does it mean that the fonts that are listed on the CSS Web Safe Fonts site and are available in IWeb, are OK to use? Or do I have to obtain those fonts from somewhere and install them somehow?
