I've decided to stick with Verdana (>_<) If you visit www.cabotconsultants.com.au you can see that I haven't miniturised the font, it's a nice readable size, plus I edited the CSS for a test to show only arial, and the size wasn't a problem.
I can understand that it would be if the CSS told the font to be small, but I've tested and checked in IE 6, NS 7.1, Opera 7.23, FireFox 0.8 and all look uniform and fine in both verdana and the arial backup test. I've also been sure not to use any pt or px font sizes so if need be, the viewer can change the font size with the browser setting. Anyways, please give me feedback if you find my font/size/css to cause you any problems.
