Fonts are very underestimated, and honestly I loose faith when I see Windows-specific CSS configuration like Verdana, Arial or Helvetica.
Anyway here are other topics beside my personal OS orientation. The wiki is mostly about text, so is very important. I would recomend ya'll to read or at least browse through the typography section from the guys from AlistApart.com Specially this article: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/readingdesign and http://www.alistapart.com/articles/elastic more than looking nice we should be more pragmatic and allow true accesibility in our fonts.
