[thelist] Web Fonts II [was: Netscape table behavior - grrr]

[muinar]

I'm using Dreamweaver, and the fancy indenting helps me to keep visual control
over those multiple nested tables... :)

Yeah, as a result of the font thread, I just changed my font families to 
include
Geneva before Arial for better rendering on Macs! If you don't have Geneva, 
you'll
get Arial, which I prefer in this case to Verdana. I only use Verdana as the
first font in a font family, never as a substitute, because it renders a lot
bigger than all other fonts (except Georgia).

What do others think about Trebuchet on the web? MS tells on its web page that
it's been distributed which all major MS apps for some years now. It's well
readable on screen, and it can well be substituted by Geneva or Arial because
it's not 'oversized' like Verdana and Georgia.
