There are some versions of X that do not allow you to install TT fonts.
While anyone can build their own X to do so, there will be sites that
do not allow the user root permission in which to do so.
It is established protocol by web producers, and every author on Web page
development will point out the error in your ways. It is very conceited
to think that everyone will do your bidding and install the font. That
is where I learned about CORRECT font usage for web pages, by web authors.
If you want Verdana, put it first in the list, but add Helvetica, Arial
and sans-serif in the list as well. That way, if verdana is not installed,
at least the viewer will get the font that is closest to it that WILL reside
on that user's system.
I'm sure you will disagree with me, but people who makes it their business
will be happy to point out the error in your ways.
Keep in mind, that Netscape users, under Unix, will see COURIER if the
font doesn't exist. Is that what you want?
