"My question now is if such a
difficult-to-read font is the default on so many computers out there,
is it bad form to not define a font in your stylesheet? I mean, is it
better usability to define fonts rather than leave them undefined?"
Hi Diane,
Serif fonts are not as screen readable as sans-serif. I define the font
family as:
font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,Lucida,Arial,sans-serif;
Verdana for Windows
Helvetica for Mac
Lucida for Unix/Linux
Arial to specify another sans-serif
sans-serif to choose a generic sans-serif if none of the other fonts exist
