- ScottWhigham 17y agoI think that having Verdana was not the odd bit; it was assuming that anyone would have "Nimbus Sans" installed ;)
- shortformblog 17y ago:D Due to the site's design, which leans heavily on its font, I mainly picked that based on numbers suggesting a lot of Linux users didn't have Helvetica installed. So I tried to pick the most popular Helvetica-like font that usage numbers suggested they would actually have. And I still put it in front of Verdana. :)
