Re: Serif fonts

Dale, as much as I like Georgia as a font, I must warn you that there is a
version of Georgia for the Macintosh that is very scriptive and loopy and
hard to read. Just be aware of that when you pick your fonts. Why does your
client only want serif fonts? Maybe you should show him/her the reasons for
using sans-serif fonts. A good page that shows the difference between font
sizes for both PC and Mac, IE/Netscape:

Good luck!
