Client: The fonts and gradients are illegible on the site. I can’t even read it! Here are some screenshots.

Me: Huh! That does look weird. I’ll have a look at the code, see what’s up.

I started rooting around in the CSS and HTML to see if there was some fallback code that was messing things up. I couldn’t find ANYTHING that would mess up the text like in the photos.

Me: I can’t find the problem in the code. Is your browser up to date?

Client: I don’t know! How do I find out?

Me: Well, what browser are you using?

Client: “IBM Notes.”

Me: ….

Client: ….

Me: …What?

Google tells me that IBM notes is some kind of in-software browser. I have no idea why he was using it.
