I can add a small detail at least; probably not of much import: Many people forget that you can specify a font "family" so if, say, you like Bookman Old Style, you can still suggest other fonts that will look OK in your opinion as opposed to letting browsers decide it or worse, use a system font instead. After your preferred font, you simply include the most-general of the set of fonts you prefer that other machines are likely to have loaded. For example: ... <P style="margin-bottom: 0px;"><SPAN style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,Sans-serif;"> </SPAN></P> ... I made up that code off the top of my head, but those fonts will be tried before it defaults to some unknown font on the unknown user's machine with his unknown OS and unknown font load. I don't -really- know how much good it does; I really only do it because it's customary<g>. I tend to use Verdana in reality, because it's the oldest and most wide-spread font amongst it seems all operatiing systems. And for some reason, at the same time it's one of the most unknown font-facts that people know unless they've been around fonts for a few years.
