This is the best comment I read all day. Why not use unusual fonts to make the design look good (of course keeping legibility in mind - that is part of a good design). Provide a fall-back for those users that don't have the font and make sure your design still works and the font is still easy to read. ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
