I must have missed something. Since when did Google (or any other search
engine for that matter) care about fonts specified in the document? Are
you saying the pigeons were confused?

Since "vic" moved his pages -- changed their URL -- a more likely
explanation for the problem is that all the sites that linked to his
pages in their old location still do, and _don't_ link to the pages in
the new location. Fewer links in usually means lower standings in search
results, at least on Google. "vic" could track those pages down (using
Google's "link:" syntax, contact the site owners and ask them to update
their links.

That's likely to be more effective than dorking about with font names,
doncha think?
