I have considered the idea - in fact it is one of my big 'problems' with this site. There is a commercial imperative to stick to the original font for the major site areas (those tabs will actually be changed soon) - the print designer is quite adamant about it. But the big issue I have is the use of images in the navigation bar - there will be JS rollovers added to the code as the client wants the rollover effect. I have used CSS rollovers but they seem to break or give bad performance in too many 'commercial' browsers to make the jump. I really want to push the semantics and accessibility further but there is the commercial reality of the client. How do others feel about these issues - particularly with regard the CSS rollovers. I think I prefer looking at sites with the style sheets turned off these days to enjoy the look of navigation lists etc! but it looks like this site may not go all the way.
