Correct. But as it is possible to override it, you're not trying to
force the physical layout as much as with <font> tags, which leaves the
viewer more options. I should've made that clearer, sorry.
However, I personally still think one shouldn't mess with font families
at all - HTML simply wasn't meant for that. >:-)
ObVisuallyImpaired: If you're also thinking of blind people in this
regard, the only correct way of doing things is writing text-browser
compatible pages anyway (at least to the best of my knowledge), as then
Braille-converters can be used. But that's even one step further to what
you mentioned above. Probably depends on the target audience.
Cheerio and thanks for clearing that up,
Thomas
