Re: Text line length - Was: [Seen this lately?]

>>>>As for Comic Sans, the mere sight of it sets my teeth on edge, and it's
one  of the quickest ways to get me to ignore or leave a website (right up
there  huge images who's size isn't defined in the page, and just below
sound that  launches on load and those stupid fireworks javascript things).
This font  is, IMO, a dead giveaway that the person who authored the page
doesn't know  what they're doing, and always leaves me with a vague
impression about the  TYPE of personality who created the site (something I
know is silly to do,  but I just can't avoid it).<<<<

I'm sure you meant to say "...the type of *client* who insisted the poor
designer use the font..."

We had this actually happen. If I remember correctly, the client insisted on
the font and was also actually the client of a very large B2B client.

Not only are we at the mercy of the browsers, but also of our own wallets!

What a life....:)
