a note, the correct spelling is 'serif' and afaik, most browsers won't
choose a font at all. (the latest MS and NN hacks do /not/ comprise the
entire browsing audience)
As well, I was under the impression that MS Sans Serif was a specific font,
a font family would be cursive, serif, sans-serif, etc, wouldn't it?
