Agreed 100%, my fonts suck too :( When I've changed the font-family to
pick the good fonts on linux, users on other platforms didn't like that.

We were thinking to try removing font-family completely. Does anybody
know of any problems with this approach?


Are you sure that the font-family is the problem and not the font size? I
recently found some great information on the Apple developer site that
pointed out that fonts render best across platforms and browsers if their
sizes are set in pixels rather than points. It makes sense, when you think
about it.

I've just applied this principle to the new Bricolage home page. Check
there, and if the fonts look crappy to anyone, let me know. If not, maybe
the pixel rule could be applied to the mod_perl site.

PS: The above assumes that the mod_perl site isn't *already* setting font
sizes in pixels; I would check it now, but I'm on a plane and not plugged
in. The issue might already be resolved by the time the messages gets sent,
too. ;-)

As Allan has already pointed out the mod_perl site does *not* uses any fixed font sizes, be it pixels or points. We use 'em' which is the only way to stay flexible.
