Except for the font, I think you will be happy with the way
it looks in the beta of iCab 3.0 as well. The font is the

The style sheet uses good old Geneva as the primary font, followed by
a
few other san serif options. I don't have access to the iCab 3.0 beta,
but CSS support on iCab 2.x has been horrendous.
Looks really bad in iCab 2.98, because of the CSS.
When authoring a web site, you need to make the site look
good *without* CSS first. Then use CSS to enhance the
layout. CSS is NOT ment to be the total layout mechanism.
By requiring the browser to support whatever version/subset
of CSS you're using, aren't you telling a lot of your low
end mac viewers to go away?
That's the interesting thing - almost nobody visits the site using
low-end Macs. Instead, they usually are using modern equipment with
modern browsers to research older hardware. We might lose 1% of our
audience, but I think even that is a high figure.
CSS is *not* for enhancing page layout. It's a design and presentation
language. The whole point of CSS is to allow a lot of layout options,
and once I have the main layout working nicely, I'll be adding other
options as well.
To get the most out of the Web, everyone should have a
standards-compliant browser, and Mozilla seems to be the best yet. IE
is a nightmare, although IE 5.2 does a decent job with the new LEM
design. Safari is close, but it won't do anything with the line-height
information. I'll have to wait until iCab makes 3.0 available to the
general public for testing before I can comment on it.
I have heard several times about problems rendering the page in IE
6/Windows, but so far nobody has sent a screen shot, and I have no
access to modern Windows hardware.
