This is my concern really. I have a windows system and the fonts that come
with using that system. It is the other OS's that I am wondering about.
Looking for the universally distributed fonts... as best can be expected. I
suspect that I will have to pick fonts widely distributed keeping in mind,
as you said, that many will get a default serif font.
Another concern of mine is reproducing intended font size on different
systems. Is there a best way to go about this? Is +1 +2 the same on all
systems, or is there a more precise way of indicating size... say like
"points".
Thanks,
LINC

| (...) The various font sizes are not even promised to be rendered at different sizes, according to the official spec. HTML really is not meant to be a page layout language, despite a lot of changes which make it more so. (25 years ago, 11-Oct-99, to lugnet.publish)
