Wow I wasn't aware of this! thanks for the link. Just out of curiosity... would you know the percentage of pcs without verdana? I mean, is it on mac etc? I like the font so much(>_<)
would it be worth converting to arial? for the sake of i dunno 5%??? and even if they don;t have verdana, although the backup font will be arial, all they'll need to do is change their browser font size the next setting up. What are your thoughts?
