    So if I wanna use Helvetica for my lovely Mac visitors, is Arial still the closest alternative for Windows visitors? Or is there something nicer with Vista?

    And when it comes to the CSS, do you just specify "Helvetica" or "Helvetica Neue" (which seems to be the prefered version on the Mac). Is there any need to specify weights? Or can you even?

    Something like:

    font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, san-serif

    Incidentally, I see Leopard is coming with fonts "such as"... "Tahoma", and "Microsoft Sans Serif". Will be interesting to see the full list. Leopard fonts link

    Papyrus Condensed

    Can't wait :)

    font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, san-serif

    Specify arial before helvetica I'm afraid, as windows helvetica has shit browser rendering.

    Cheers - didn't even think Windows had helvetica at all.

    I don't think it does by default, I've never seen it.

    Not by default, but those that do will thank you for not specifying it.
