Two questions;
How many fonts / typefaces he knows?
What is for him "elegant" and "exquisite"?...

Murder him, then set the epitaph on his tombstone in Verdana if he likes it so much.

I'm having to use it as the body on a project at the moment.
It looks dated and inelegant.

actually he is doing you a favor, you can pick any font you want and tell it's a "very elegant font , very exquisite font".
I think this font here (your choice) is even more elegant and exquisite than verdana...blabla.
an argument for verdana is that it is a very legible font with clear character distinction, that's mainly the reason it's used by ikea.
- some think comic sans is elegant
vaxorcist - It's actually used by Ikea because it's their web font and they just wanted to be consistent.iCanHazQBN
- ... This was back when font choices were very limited.iCanHazQBN
- I bet they could go back to Futura since there's probably a webfont of it.iCanHazQBN
