It should be noted that putting Helvetica after Arial in your stylesheet is self-defeating if your aim is to display Helvetica on Macs but Arial on Windows. Macs ship with Arial, so such declarations mean Helvetica will never be used.
- sc 18y agoHistorically, Arial rendered better on Windows than Helvetica, so to offer Macs a form of Helvetica over Arial, you'll generally see: font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif;
- hboon 18y agoYes, and GHFigs is pointing out that the article said: font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; which is self-defeating.
