I'm sure theres around 20% of people who disagree with you
on that one Mike ;-).

I think the real issue behind a lot of font sizing problems that articles
like this one are referring to stem from IE 5 days. IE5 renders fonts
larger than any other browser, and when PC only dev's would specify font
sizes of 8 or 9 pt Verdana or similar, anyone not using that browser and
that platform would get fonts about 6-7px tall.

There is nothing wrong with using verdana per se, just make sure your
pages are readable when that font is not available.


kind regards
