Does the font look weird on this site?

Nice try at being insulting, but in kind: stick your head back up your
arse.  It is clear that you know nothing about me.

a:  It is unneccessary to go changing fonts.  Wanted, perhaps, still
unneccessary.  And, shall we say, "fucking stupid" to set text that
needs to be read to minimum sizes.

b:  I do know about designing websites, I've been writing them for
years.  Ones that work on all browsers, without needing conditional
coding.  I am well aware of font issues, which is a whole other matter
than playing silly buggers with scripting, Java, and layout.

Once you get into conditional programming, you make this common mistake:

   Is browser MSIE or Netscape?  Then it's X...

Whether it's an if/then/else, or has a few others in the middle of the
conditional list, it's *never* complete, and is virtually guaranteed to
serve somebody with crap, that would have otherwise served *everyone*
better with just one set of standard, correct, pages.
