[EHPweb] Font Stacks

[Eric M Martinez]

Not sure if anyone has already seen this, but a very neat tool when  
creating a font stack for the web.

	http://www.codestyle.org/servlets/FontStack

It may look rudimentary at first, but play with it and the power is  
revealed. By checking our current font stack (Verdana, Arial,  
Helvetica, sans-serif), we can quickly see:

	(1) Changing the order to Arial first will improve consistency by  
roughly 2% among Linux visitors.
	(2) We don't have a graceful fallback font to cover all Linux users  
(7.76% will use general sans-serif)
	(3) Our current font stack is pretty darn nice.

Thanks,
	~Eric.
