I must admit to feeling uncomfortable with the idea of mixing serif and sans-serif fonts in the same specifier, especially if the fonts are to be used in larger amounts of body text. Using those sans-serif fonts could lead to readability problems. I forget the research in question (but its probably quite easy to find on the web somwhere), but there is experimental evidence to back up that premise. ------------------------------------- Darren Stephens Centre for Internet Computing University of Hull Scarborough Campus Filey Road Scarborough http://www.cic.hull.ac.uk/ [log in to unmask] Tel: 01723 357360 (direct) ------------------------------------- > -----Original Message----- > From: Philip TAYLOR [NTS10/O-NT] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 1:50 PM > To: Rick Hobson > Cc: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: Fonts in CSS > > > > unlimited width) web pages.
