Main Site CSS Font-Family

Agent Buckshot Moose · 02-15-2008, 04:18 PM

Out of curiosity what is the font-family for the main page text? I think the main one is Verdana or something, but if you don't have whatever the default font is, it seems to default to a times new roman text--looks kinda blah given the style of the rest of the site.

Just a suggestion to add Arial as a secondary one or something.

Needs to be at least font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; for non-Windows viewers.

Yeah. Currently I'm on Solaris and I don't boot into Windows except to play games when I have time. I need to add Verdana to the fonts list, but some sans-serif or arial action would be cool.

@Circ

Why not change it to...

Code:

font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

Helvetica is on most OS's right?

EDIT:

forum uses;

Code:

font-family: verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

To find out teh fonts for any web site, simply goto File, save page as, then open either the HTML doc or the CSS doc and whallah.

Apparently the main page text is Trebuchet MS, with no other fonts defined afterwards. That would explain why Solaris doesn't have it...
