TeX Computer Modern font... I don't like some of the design characteristics of cm. The ff ligature is a little ghastly, and at a normal pointsize (cmr10) the font is a too `light' for my taste. I prefer the good old venitian font families (notice Google uses one of these in thier logo). It

Hi, Well, my fonts are Verdana, and Arial..., but I will add Helvetica to the FONT FACE= tag. As for size=1, my site uses SIZE=2 for the main content. Thanks for the criticism... Bye! -- Gautam N. Lad http://www.cubicdesign.com

OK, this is way off topic, but I have to ask... I noticed that your entire post is right justified. So, I figured that you used some nifty utility to perform the justification. But, there is no evidence (multiple spaces) of deliberate formatting. There are double spaces following "."s - even

I noticed that your entire post is right justified... One of my oddities. Makes writing emails a little more difficult (especially when writing with cat). I believe double spaces are correct for ending the sentences in fixed width fonts. One of these days I'm going to write a long email

Gifs have binary transparency - a pixel is either 100% transparent or not at all. PNGs have 8bit transparency - 256 degrees of transparency To make transparency available to an image: right-click-Layers-Add Alpha Channel //if the option is greyed out, it's probably available already To paint

i just wanted to say that the font attribute is deprecated anyway. the correct way is to use style sheets or a "style" attribute. if you want a specific behavior on your webpage (ie. you don't want to use a relative font size). you can specify a font size in pixels ( font- size: 10px ). the
