CSS & Fonts

Since we're already font-challenged on the web, wouldn't it be great if
we could specify an alternate ruleset if a particular font wasn't available?

For instance:

body {
     font: 28px normal georgia, 26px bold times new roman;
}

In this case we'd be specifying georgia at 28px, but if the user didn't
have that font, instead we'd go with times new roman but in BOLD at 26px.

While we're at it...how about CSS font anti-aliasing?  Instead of allowing
silly little programs like Internet Explorer anti-alias ALL fonts on our
pages
(even little itty bitty ones), shouldn't WE, the DEVELOPERS be the ones
specifying which fonts to anti-alias?  I appreciate a good fuzzy edge on
my headings, it just doesn't make sense in other places.

Thanks for listenin, y'all.
