I've been writing in Georgia ever since I read this:

A fan of Microsoft fonts, eh? You should move to Constantia, the new hotness in serifery.


Once you've read this, try this quiz: http://www.iliveonyourvisits.com/helvetica/

Arial or Helvetica?


Bonus round: what font is the header "arial or helvetica" set in?


Before the article: 2/10

After the article: 8/10


The easier way is to check the CSS file.
