everybody does it to "force" their design over the users head i guess. i agree with you and tom [i personally find it a feature], but hesitate to make the move. people who want to use their own fonts will already know how they can overrule our stylesheets fonts. if people do that by default they will always know what to expect. if we dont specify the fonts a "normal" user [i'm only guessing] will first have to find out that: a) our site doesnt specify a font-family b) where do i specfiy my own fonts in my application? lastly we will have to do at least some testing on various setups, so i suggest we move this issue to next version > > Many of your visitors will be using Lynx, I expect.
