>>Anyone know if there have been any studies done on which fonts or
styles of
>>web pages are most easily read and understood?
Please bear in mind that there are only a few fonts that are
cross-browser compatible. They are Times New Roman, Arial, Courier, and
Universal. All other fonts that you may specify in a web page by using
the <FONT FACE> tag, are dependent upon the user's installed fonts.
The are ways around this using Cascading Style Sheets, but again, CSS is
not cross-browser compatible and only works on version 4.X
