OK, I'd like to hear some opinions. A lot of the pages I produce need,
for technical reasons, a Unicode font (especially the 0370–03FF,
0400–04FF, 0500–052F, 1F00–1FFF, and 2000–206F ranges). I find 'Arial
Unicode MS' very handy for this. Plus, it is a sans-serif style which
is generally regarded as superior to a serif font for screen reading.

A typical CSS entry for me is:
font-family:'Arial Unicode MS','Everson Mono Unicode', 'Palatino
Linotype',Code2000,'TITUS Cyberbit Basic','Athena Roman', Athena;

(I know I don't have a generic, but that's because there really isn't
a suitable generic.)


So my questions are: what is wrong with Arial (Arial Unicode MS in
particular)? are there better font alternatives? (I generally provide
links for downloading these fonts because there is not a reliable
means of providing fonts to web users.)

I would very much appreciate suggestions.
