With the greatest respect, your dislike for the fonts which
Microsoft explicitly commissioned for the web ("Trebuchet MS",
Tahoma, Verdana : I do not seek to defend Georgia !) is surely
not sufficient reason for recommending that Eric jettison
them in favour of Helvetica and/or Arial ? I would respectfully
suggest that there is nothing objectively superior about the
latter, and if the designer prefers the MS three, then he
should feel free to specify them.
