If you like small fonts, you can configure your webbrowser to ues Verdana at 7pt as the default font. Instead of specifying something which is hard to read for some people, you should probably do that. (In Internet Explorer, you can do it from Tools/Internet Options; in Mozilla, it's Edit/Preferences; in Opera, File/Preferences.) When designing webpages, the most complicated thing you should do to the body text is specify a broad font-family (one of serif, sans-serif or monospace). If there's a font you really love, chances are there's someone else who really hates it/finds it illegible, and it's your audience, after all, that you're writing your webpage for. (Not that you should have a very boring page: I'm talking about the body text, not the layout/table of contents/headers etc.) -- Tristan <kesuari@...> Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog.
