I use Tahoma too, may not be 'web-safe' but most people have it on their machines.

| For regular text, you will need to confine yourself to Arial, Helvetica,
| Times New Roman, Courier, and Verdana, probably. Comic Sans and Andy

| fonts --- and it's suggested you do so sparingly --- you must create a
