I'm on record as willing to work on the make-your-own-stylesheet project, but there's other stuff that's been given higher priority.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Mmmmm Ple.
So maybe "problem" was too strong a word. t /natter

if I set my browser's default size to make Verdana look good, then everything else looks awful.
I have the same problem. I agree that fixing this is a lower-priority item, but I guess my question would be what's ahead of it.

Do you actually want that question answered in detail here? I have a list, and if you read BBaBB you'll see it there.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
My obsessive hatred of Verdana has led me to explore various work arounds for getting rid of it. I don't really like changing the browser settings to force browser's default font to be used, because this is like driving a brad with a sledgehammer. Everything, including block quotes gets switched to the default, and it applies to every site you visit. Boring...
The second way is to just delete Verdana from your list of installed fonts. This gets rid of Verdana just fine, but the style sheet then specifies Arial/Helvetica be used, which though better than Verdana, still doesn't solve my problem. I could also delete those fonts, but as a practical matter there's no way I'm going to delete Arial or Helvetica from my font list.
The third way is to make a copy of your preferred font, and use a font editor to rename it to Verdana. You need to use a font editor, because the name is stored internally in the files. You can't just rename the files themselves. Delete the real Verdana from your font folder, and substitute the fake Verdana, and Bob's your uncle. So far, this seems to work without any of the above mentioned side effects. The only downside I can see is that if I ever need to use the real Verdana for some project it won't be there, but maybe by that time we'll have individual style sheets.
