<tip type="CSS 'default' font-family specification" author="fonso">
A very good practice is to add a "serif", "sans-serif" or "monospace"
(whatever applies) as
the last item in your css font spec. You give the browser a default font
type to use if the visitor system doesn't have any of the specified fonts.
So instead of, say :
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;
use:
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
