        They can easily request that the system administrator do it for them.

        This is only an error in your opinion, as I have stated.

        I never said I expect everyone to download the font. I said I want my
page to appear with the Verdana font, and I don't care much about the
others. Please leave words like CORRECT out of this, as again they are
your opinions.

        I'm well aware of how to fix the issue. As I have repeatedly said, it
was intentional.

        See above.

        I will not respond to this on the list again. If you think it'll get
you somewhere to continue this with me, feel free to email me directly.
