Lucida Grande? The design's not as nice as Calibri but the x-height is similar and would be fairly widely installed especially if you specify the windows variants in the family. I found this page handy for describing the quirks of Lucida Sans and Lucida Sans Unicode on Windows: http://www.brownbatterystudios.com/sixthings/2007/03/14/lucida-hybrid-the-grande-alternative/ Hope this is useful, Peter H. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
