Arial looks OK on a PC, but on a Mac, especially at lower sizes, it's 
a god-awful font. Worse, however, is that bold text does not show up 
at smaller sizes - it looks exactly the same as the non-bold Arial. 
Verdana, ugly as it may be for some, seems to work better.. I just 
wish we had some really nice x-platform fonts we could rely upon! :)
