RE: BEST FONTS TO USE

[David Adam Edelstein]

	This isn't as well known as it should be: our typography 

	group has a set of free "core fonts for the web" available at

	http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fontpack/default.htm


	These include Verdana and Georgia, which were designed by 

	Matthew Carter to be highly legible at low resolutions (like 

	the screen) or small sizes.


	There are also a number of other cool fonts.  All free, all 

	available for both PC and Mac.
