plusses for maintaining specifying the font-families --------------------------------------------------- + we can keep on using more than one font-family
the only real problem here, is that the order preferences vary from platform to platform.

any numbers on how many do this? I doubt that anybody does that in reality.
individual stylesheets are mostly a userbillity subject i guess. not many does that probably but many would use the overriding facilties of fonts in their browser why else would the browser houses eleaborate that feature so much?.
That's a wrong question IMHO. If something is marketed as customizable, it doesn't necessarily means that it's useful. IMHO, the right question to ask is whether this feature is actually used. I've asked for that question for a simple reason that I don't use it and have no idea how it can be made useful to me. Do you use it?
What about the suggestion of simply specifying Serif or San-Serif and fixed?
but what about the navigation-font-family then? leading to another question, which fonts looks pixelated on said linux distribution, all of them ?
e.g. menu fonts on Mozilla. Look at the attached snapshot.
also, what about consistency to the navigation-images that uses verdana?
what about consistency to the manual?
what do you mean?
-------------------------------------------------------------- is helvetica bad? I've tuned the guide to use:
font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
after suggestions from users, and nobody has complained since.
Also this is the fixed font used:
font-family: courier new, courier, monospace; --------------------------------------------------------------
bascially i am -1 for the change, i like the current _design_ of which the fonts are a major part. they are "tested"/approved for at least half a year on many different browsers/platforms by people on this list.
still if people are +1 for this change i won't personally mind.
I'm +1 if it improves the whole thing since it was a "new" suggestion we haven't tested. Otherwise I can live with the current setup.
