hey noob question
since most people (non designers i guess) don't have verdana on their systems; when u describe the precedence of fonts do you bother including verdana or do u just use arial (which everyone has)
i know u can just make verdana first in the order, but im worried if i design stuff in verdana, im looking at stuff that will be difft from my audience, since they will most likely be looking at it in arial.
is there much fluctuation in arial vs verdana? peace and thanks for any advice.

verdana is a standard font, no need to worry.

Don't worry about it - everybody and their dog have Verdana.

are you talking about HTML text? or in photoshop and flash?
it wont matter if you make the stuff in photoshop or flash, (unless you use system fonts) because that stuff is all pre-rendered in a sense...
everyone has verdana on their system.. which allows you to see the font which you are reading right now...
there are major diff. in arial and verdana.. MAJOR...
a closer font to Arial would be its Helvetica.. which was the original...
