Wow I wasn't aware of this! thanks for the link. Just out of curiosity...
would you know the percentage of pcs without verdana? I mean, is it on mac
etc? I like the font so much(>_<)
would it be worth converting to arial? for the sake of i dunno 5%??? and
even if they don;t have verdana, although the backup font will be arial,
all they'll need to do is change their browser font size the next setting
up.
What are your thoughts?

I've tested the webpage on 3 differnet monitor on anything from 800X600
up.
I've also tested it in Netscape, IE, Opera and FireFox. I noticed the
Gecko browsers did display the font fairly small.
If you are on windoze and seeing Gecko at default 16px rendering these
sizes smaller than IE, then you are using either IE5 or IE4, or you are
using IE6 in quirks mode, which renders the same as IE4 & IE5 (these
only have quirks mode regardless of doctype).
In standards mode, IE6 matches Gecko, as long as you are using the standard 96 DPI windoze "small fonts" system setting. Gecko is not impacted by changing the windoze system font size/DPI, while IE is, which makes everything in relative sizes larger, as that's why one chooses something other than "small fonts" as the system setting.
I chose Verdana as it is very clean for both print and display.
