Any time Verdana is actually set to a size big enough to read, it's
large relative x-height makes it among the ugliest common fonts. I
remove Verdana from systems I don't use for testing web pages just so I
don't have to see it.

The best rule is none at all. That way, if their pref is Utopia, they
get to see Utiopia. If their pref is Trebuchet, they get to see
Trebuchet. If their pref is New Century Schoolbook, they get to see New
Century Schoolbook. If their pref is Palatino, they get to see Palatino.
When the page specifies 'verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif', such
people almost never get to see their preference.
