Re: font ?

Bryon,

Based on the font names you've chosen, I'm going on a limb to guess that
you're designing on or for Macs. If that's the case, you would probably know
better than I what fonts are "standard" on that system. If you're designing
for universal viewing, my suggestion would be to stick with the more common
fonts, such as Arial (Windows), Helvetica (Mac), Times New Roman (Windows),
Times (Mac), Courier (both), Verdana (Windows), and Geneva (Mac) (with
sans-serif and serif fallbacks, of course) -- note that Arial is similar to
Helvetica, Verdana is similar to Geneva, and Times/Times New Roman should be
identical.

I've heard of both of the fonts you list, but I've not heard of them as
being standard for webdesign. There's nothing wrong with using either or
both of them, but you'd be safe to include alternate fonts as well, just in
case.

Good luck!
