Huh? "Font"? You should not include *any* "fonts" if you want things to
work properly. You should *remove* all your font
definitions/declarations/whatever. Trust the user to know what font
looks best on his computer. I see that you use <pre> tags for the
pictures, so you've done that bit right and any readers who see fonts at
all should see it correctly as long as you just leave the fonts alone.

I do see one bad mistake in your html. You should replace all  & 
characters with  &amp;  and all  <  characters with  &lt;

You can use this little toy I made:
