But the "old" phpinfo() specified fonts, so are you saying it was broken
then too?

But I bet 99% of the people will have versions of either Arial or
Verdana or Helvetica that *will* work.  Why not make life easier for the
majority, since the 1% is going to have to specify their own font anyway?

Okay ... so don't output the charset meta tag at all?

If you can make it work under most environment *and* look good (i.e. as
much like it used to, sans-serif fonts and all), then great!  CVS is a
wonderful thing. :)
