I did something I almost never do today. I yelled at boss at camp. I wouldn’t say I’m intimidated by Bill but I don’t like being yelled at least of which by him. But today I saw that he’d written a formal letter in comic sans and snapped.
Me: You wrote a formal letter in comic sans?
Bill: Well, it wasn’t completely formal, I wanted it to be casual.
Me: Then use a simple sans serif font like calibri, verdana or helvetica, not comic sans.
Bill: What?
Me: Comic sans is the frat-boy of the font world “it says, look at me! I’m fun and formal! I’m in Office, wo ho ho! It’s like the leisure suit of fonts, the mullet,the Brut by Fabrige. Sure maybe it’ll impressed the dullard but do you really want to be seen in public with the piano key neck tie of fonts? I thought you were better than that.
You might take a look at Tahoma instead of Verdana. Same font, a little more compressed character spacing which looks better (I believe) printed.
Strangely enough, what is installed on my computer as Helvetica actually seems to be Arial (see http://www.ms-studio.com/articlesarialsid.html)

The entire OSR page is in Tahoma. I heart CSS.

Congratulations. You've now created a website which will look different on Macs and Linux machines, both of which don't have Tahoma.
