That's what's bugging me... Why doesn't arial render in BOLD, when verdana
does? This is not the first time I've come across this...

If I change the order of the font listing, I effectively change the font the
page is displayed in, and  I'd prefer to display in arial. So, does anyone
know why arial will not render BOLD, and how to correct that?

By the way... I'd test this myself, but my Mac is located quite a distance
away, and I only make the commute about once every two weeks. Thanks to all
of you for not making any snide remarks about why I just don't test the
<.strong> application myself... :)
