What font is this?

I'm editing a footer that was created in frontpage about ten years ago. For some reason the links are all images.
Thanks much. Now I just need to figure out if I have to edit the header and footer of every single page of this template or if there is a smarter way to do it.
I mean, why use a template at all if code is repeated on every godamned page?
If the site was created in FrontPage you might be able to make the change once and make it appear across all pages, providing you still have a copy of FrontPage.
They had some funky bots for include files - pages were compiled locally before uploading rather than on the server as normal.

The smarter way to do it is to use PHP includes and build only a single header and footer file for the entire site.
Just to give an example:
header.php
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Your title</title>
</head>
<body>footer.php
Code:
</body>
</html>index.php
Code:
<? include('path/to/header.php'); ?>
<h1>Example using PHP includes</h1>
<p>A paragraph of text...</p>
<? include('path/to/footer.php'); ?>Will result in:
index.php (end user)
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Your title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Example using PHP includes</h1>
<p>A paragraph of text...</p>
</body>
</html>Super simple, but just in case you didn't know

Yes I know this. My problem is that I'm working with an existing site that already uses this redundant structure for some reason.
I want to make the header change with as minimal work as possible and it looks like a little selective cutting and pasting is the way I'll have to go.
It just irks me that a so called 'template' uses this structure.
I downloaded a copy from demonoid. I'm hoping that once I grab the template from inside the app it will just automatically start working like I would expect a template to.
Why not bring the site up to modern standards by rebuilding the base template structure? Sounds like a nightmare otherwise.
