I am puzzled, and seeking enlightenment.
We have recently started using Cascading Style Sheets for our smaller
websites. I was under the impression that the most generic font-family
specifications were to call for a generic 'serif' or 'sans-serif'.
However, although this works just fine on the PCs in this office, whether in
MSIE5/6, Netscape4/6 or Mozilla, we have an external user, with some flavour
of MSIE, who can see the sans serif font, but not the serif. I've been asked
to modify the CSS to specify fonts by name to overcome this problem, which
is OK as long as I know what fonts his machine has access to, but I'd still
like to know why the generic default fails.
Has anyone met this sort of problem?
