Choosing a font.

[Snot]

What do you think of the font on my webpage? I would like to know if you think the size needs to be larger or smaller or if you don't think it goes with the page t all.

Yuck! Um, it's not common enough to show on my computer, but if it is anything like the text used in the images, it's perfect for snot. Regardless, this points up a common issue in font choice. Unless you are choosing serif, sans-serif, or monospace - there is no guarantee that the font you choose will be available on the viewer's machine. I give you points for selecting fall-backs though - that's what should be done. However, if layout is critical (which it really doesn't appear to be here), the fall-back should be of about the same default size and aspect ratio as the intended font. Additionally, once a fall-back of serif, sans-serif, or monospace is included in the style specification, be aware that only the first of these three will ever be used in 99.99% of cases where a fall-back font is required on the user's end.

A slightly more common font in this vein is:

Curlz MT

But, even that isn't so widely supported. And if it doesn't look all that out of the ordinary to you, your machine doesn't support it.
