Hi.
Yes, before you start saying this has been done to death, it has. But
for all my reading about it I have not found a conclusion, just a list
of percieved problems.
I have googled and gone back in this group to 2003 and found lots of
discussions saying where the problems are percieved to be, Lots of
examples posted, using browsers and statistics that are years old.
Looking at some very well done sites (to my untrained and I hope
unprejudiced mind) I still see verdana used in the css.
Without going into the same old discussions, my question is...
Am I correct in thinking that the main problem with verdana is only if
the page designer reduces the body size below 100%? (This reduces
other fonts if the user doesn't have verdana, yadda yadda.) Therefore,
if I use verdana but leave the body font at 100% there really is no
problem.
Right or wrong?
And, again without the looooooong discussions please, what sans serif
font families do you put in your sites as a general rule if you don't
do verdana?
Thanks.
