However, you can, with CSS, set some basic parameters. If, say, you want to ensure that the users sees a sans-serif font on their browser, you can use: font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana, sans-serif This basically says, ensure that the browser uses arial; if arial isn't available, use helvetica; if helvetica isn't available, use verdana; and if verdana isn't available, use whatever sans-serif font the user has installed on their computer. Look up the font-family attribute for CSS on the web. There's too much detail to go into and this is a PHP list, not a CSS list. -- Richard S.
