I picked up Vrinda after considering the material at http://www.codestyle.org/css/font-family/sampler-WindowsResults.shtml and noticing that Vrinda is the only widely available sans-serif font where letters are small as compared with the font size. So it's the best backup for Calibri, the font I'd really like to use. As you can see from http://www.ascenderfonts.com/font/vrinda-bengali.aspx Vrinda was really designed for Bengali writing, but it has Latin 1 characters too, so it might serve as a fallback font when you don't need other characters. I guess the Bengali orientation explains the large intrinsic line-height. > Because of the > inherent problems with calling out REAL typefaces I rarely do it. But what's the point of suggesting generic font families only? Well, maybe it makes popular browsers use Arial instead of Times New Roman, but if that's what you really mean, why not say it - and why not suggest something more sensible instead of Arial? The problem with Arial is that in the common default font size, it looks too large to many people. Maybe not users, but people that many web authors need to listen to. The generic font families are really a shot in the dark. "Sans-serif" can mean pretty much anything - in particular, the "size impression" varies _a lot_. -- Yucca, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
