I think the real question should be: what's a gracefully cascading font list to declare
with CSS that does MOST things for MOST users on MOST platforms. e.g.: Attractiveness,
readability, scalability, contrast (roman/bold/ital) and so on...
Like: font-family:geneva,helvetica,arial,"lucida sans",sans-serif, sunsans
...rather than debating the virtues of a single font.
Just my $.02
