I would back up the "let the user choose". I looked into this a while ago, and don't have anything I can think of as a reference, except that the results were that Times Roman is better for some people and worse for others. Best to let people decide for themselves. (Which is maybe why it is hard to find something saying otherwise). I believe that I put some of this in a mail to the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines Group many months ago, but don't have time to search yet myself. If I have time and remember I'll try to find the information. cheers Charles McCN On Mon, 27 Aug 2001, Michael R.

We all know times roman is not always a good idea and thus <FONT FACE="geneva, arial, helvetica, sans serif"> is so simple so it's not worth talking about, but that is my problem, being so basic no one I can find has mentioned it in print!!
