Hi all, Thanks for your feedback. The reason I specified Verdana in the beginning was to have some familiarity between the website font and the documentation font - before (and now) I think it looks disjointed. I have just made font-family sans-serif without a specific default font, however. I've kept the font-size specified as it makes for a nicer, smaller and less huge and potentially daunting reading experience (to new users). How's http://tau.devrandom.co.uk/issyl0/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ now, as a compromise? For what it's worth, I didn't know I could set my browser's default font. The fonts I like depend on what I'm reading, so I'd personally rather not have to set a default font to make my experience better, hence my wish to change a website's defaults to be of general benefit to the public. I plan to commit this tomorrow (Monday 15th April) if all is well. Isabell.
