Thanks for shining a light on that..I had no idea those other measurement systems would cause such issue with IE users...seems IE is a usual suspect when it comes to things not working right. but as for Verdana being ditched because it is pug ugly - no argument there on it's aesthetic properties, but what it has (had?) going for it was its readability and presence on both mac and win platforms.' has this been thrown out the window? When I've seen Arial, especially on a windows pee cee, it wouldn't win no prizes for beauty either, but then windows often renders fonts with horrifying results. So...what's a rabbit to do? I can't have the faces I really want, so I use what I hope others will actually have... Is there another way? thanks!
