Re: How to change generic fonts? - report

Of the various suggestions made regarding my question, the only one that 
worked was the suggestion made by Shasta Willson:  to delete the font, 
forcing IE to pick another one.  Deleting the offending sans-serif font in 
this case made IE pick Arial.

Thanks to all who tried to help.
