SA, that is so funny, as I resize the pages to 120% for my old eyes!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Hey, Jon, why don't you go over to DX's house and steal his VERDANA.TTF. That should fix things ...
We've been through this. I tried that. Jon, control freak that he is, then has the pages default to Ariel. I still don't get the pages looking the way I want them. What I once did on one of my work machines was opened up a copy of Trebuchet MS in a font editor, changed all the internal references to duplicate the ones in Verdana, and renamed that as verdana.ttf. That's kind of extreme, though.
If it comes to that, why bother specifying the font in the first place? Neither TT nor WX did. They respected browser defaults in the matter.

I'll do whatever the bullshit consensus tell me to do.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
DX, I was just kidding.
So where are we with sheet options? Is it being considered over tweaking individual settings? If it is predefined sheets, are those options workable?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
IMO, yes and yes. So long as we manage to find a way to make DX happy. Heh.

DX, I was just kidding.
I know you were. You asked which of the proposed changes to the code I would like to see. If we can't do it, we can't do it. I just don't see why we have to be locked in to such a fugugly default font.
And this is not about making me happy. If I'm the only person who has a problem with the font, then take it off the list.

I was kidding about stealing your font, not kidding about what changes you want.
If we can easily set up cascade so that there's a barebones resulting style -- it seems a good thing for usability too, fug aside.

I like Verdana, but I don't want it to be the default for every site I visit. I'd be fine with making the b.org font selectable.

Seems like that should be doable, but I'd need to experiment.

I've got it, Jon, but I haven't had a chance to look at the HTML yet. My internet connection is going to be inconvenient until the weekend.

From an automation PoV, do you think it will be best to have one base stylesheet and then a selectable one?
