An addendum to that rant down below:
If you use any strange, odd, unreadable font for the text on your site, you need to be dragged out in the street and SHOT. I just found a site that used 8PT CARPENTER ICG (that font I use in my layout for my old blog archives, if you don't remember what it is) for the body text. HELLO, UNREADABILITY. Gah.
Anything except Verdana or Arial or Georgia or similar easily readable fonts that 99.9% of internet users has on their system is OFF LIMITS for body text. #1, because there's a good reason they aren't widely used except on images: they're hard to read. #2, because there's a huge chance most people won't have that font on their system, and so they won't see it anyway.
And on that same line, if you want to use one of those rare obscure fonts for headers, use IMAGES, fs. They won't turn out overly large in filesize, providing you don't fuck up the compression royally or use a .bmp (WHY do people use those, anyway? They don't have a single good quality, they're HUGE and only IE can load them. Having no image editing program except Microsoft Paint is no excuse, you can easily download one from the net.), and they won't have those godawful jagged edges that come from not antialiasing the font in large sizes.
