0 the evn show Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 you're pretty limited in the fonts you can use online (even embeding is broken across browsers). If you want a sans-serif font then I'd go with something like: body { font-family: Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, Geneva, Century Gothic, Sans-Serif; } Most browsers will choose substitutions automatically, but this way lets you influence the decision. In the above example Mac users and some Windows users will get Helvetica it's included with Mac OS, but not on Windows. If helvetica isn't found (ie: a windows user who does't have photoshop) the default action would be to substitue with Arial (the ugly knockoff of helvetica), instead the browser will use Verdana which IMO looks much nicer than Arial even though the sizing are slightly different. From there it will fall back on down the list. if nothing is found the sans-serif entry tells the browser to use whatever the default no-serif font is (as opposed to a serifed font like Times). IIRC the default sans serif font on windows is MS Sans Serif and on OS X it's something else (Lucidia?) but the basic apperance will be similar. More compatible (all you need is a CSS supporting browser) and more control over the apperance. how can you lose? As for which specific font to use: I normally go: Helvetica, Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Sans-serif when I want a serif-less font. They're ranked in order of most beautiful to most ugly (IMO of course).
