I designed a site recently, and I put the main content block in serif.
I do not care, I thought, what particular serif this appears in - let 
it default to the users chosen serif.
And that 0.0000000000001% of users who have actually defined a 
preferred, obscure serif may be pleased :)

But. I had a user mail me telling me that she was using IE 
6.0.2800.1106 and all she could see were big squares instead of text.
So I changed the font-family to 'Times, serif' and she replied that she 
could now read the text.

Does anyone have any pointers on what went wrong here?
I am most confused; I thought it was fine to let the browser default, 
but apparently not!
:(
