I feel silly arguing about it, except that I think it does impact
usability. They're very easy to tell apart.
The easiest way for me to tell, besides the very large difference in
kerning, is the capital letter J, which looks very different in Verdana
and Arial. All you need to do is see the difference within a Message
textarea and the text shown on the page, as in a message preview.
JJJJJJJJJJ
And Firebug tells me that the message textarea is indeed using Arial,
as specified in the file logiskin_header_footer.css (line 572). See
the screenshot from Firebug. Note that the font color in the textbox
is also affected. I'm pretty sure it used to be black.
Code:
--------------------
select, textarea, input {
color: #333333;
font-family:arial,lucida,helvetica,sans-serif;
--------------------
If you're specifying styles for generic elements like this, they're
bound to get picked up to some extent when you try to embed a third
party application in your pages, with potentially a lot of side
effects.
