I have what seems to be an unusual attitude to fonts on the web.

My view is that those who care about how text looks will have more fonts around than others.

So you design with those few in mind, and the rest won’t really care if they only see Verdana and Georgia.

Mac OS X has changed that a bit, mind you, since it comes with a large number of good fonts by default.

So the body here is supposed to be in Sabon (or in Bitstream’s Sabon lookalike Classical Garamond), and the headers are supposed to be in Univers (or Bitstream’s lookalike Zurich).

Everybody else will probably only see Georgia and Verdana.

Which is alright. I don’t mind.

The only thing that you are almost guaranteed to see is the main header, which is a H1 tag, with the content hidden using “display: none” and the image displayed using “background:”. It is set in Englische Schoolbook.

And I’m over my infatuatation with Optima, honest. Although I still want to find an excuse to use Iowan Old Style.
