[edit] Sample display

Image files would perhaps better show the intended display. --sparkit (talk) July 1, 2005 20:55 (UTC)

Agreed - Is there any browser that does render these all correctly? If not, we can compile an image from different browsers that support different pieces of it... ~ Booya ^Bazooka 22:09, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand the intention of the big list labelled "there may be many other font families"—are these generic families supported by some browser? They certainly aren't in the HTML specification. It doesn't look like a list of common font faces either.

Particular font families are not "supported by browsers". To display more fonts correctly, you just install them in your system, and the browser uses them as any other program does. —Michael Z. 2006-08-05 13:35 Z

What about "verdana? Isn't that a common font family?

[edit] References to 'you'

many times 'you' or 'your browser' is mentioned. surely this is bad practice and needs to be changed to 'the user'?
