* remember, not everyone has all the same fonts on their browser. The best way to get around this is to create a list, in quotes, of the fonts you find acceptable. Keep in mind that fonts are different widths, and this may affect your layout. So, for example, if I want verdana as my font I would write <font face="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif> telling the browser I want you to use verdana, failing that, the common PC font arial, failing that, the common Mac font helvetica, or failing that, what ever sans-serif font you got. It is recommended not to use more than 3 font choices plus the font family.
