Hi all,

Has there been any research done into which font type is more readable on
the screen -- serif or sans serif? Of course, css should be used to set the
font type so that users can override ut. However, it would be nice to have
css use the "most prefered" option. Personally, I have always used Arial or
Helvetica. Simply wondering if there is any research suggesting the
contrary. Thanks.

Cheers,
Glenda
