We all know what HTML stands for We all know what it is used for. So what is the problem of:
a) Making a page look nice, b) Make a site easy to navigate, c) Getting the point across in a friendly manner?
I agree.
So, when people ask what fonts are best used when trying to cater for both Linux and other OSes - go easy on them and don't give them lectures on "html is for content only". WE KNOW THIS but it allows a standard <font> tag and <table> and <img src> tags. To me, this says don't be boring and do web sites that have been designed in a bedroom by a spotty 13 year old. And I think it has been drummed in that CSS is the design layer of HTML coding.
<FONT> is deprecated in 4.0 standard. Generally, the best policy is to avoid specifying a font. If you must, then specify several, or better yet specify a font family. Most pages in existence are designed for Windows users. GUI tools, and sometimes webmasters themselves specify Windows only fonts. That is why certain pages are almost unreadable in other OSs.
