You also have to code your CSS in a way that provides fallback depending on OS or you have to have OS/Browser specific stylesheets (I seem to recall that you can list the fonts in order and in the case of Windows or Mac specific fonts, those will fail on the opposite platform and you'll end up with something on your native platform).
Right, I'm saying I'd *really* like to avoid creating OS-specific stylesheets. We've done a pretty good job so far of minimizing the platform- and browser-specific hackery in the Web UI, and I'd like to continue that.
OS- or browser-sniffing code in general is pretty brittle -- keeping up with new versions of the OS/browser is always a hassle. And it's often unreliable as well.
