I have a request. As a user of Windows Vista, I would like to ask all of you web designers and developers out there to please add Windows Vista fonts to your stylesheets. My reason for asking this is, well, because I didn’t upgrade to Windows Vista to stare at the same ugly set of Windows fonts I’ve had to endure for years. I hate Arial, Verdana, Trebuchet, Courier New, and Times New Roman, and Georgia isn’t too hot either. Bill Gates must share my opinion, because he made sure that Windows Vista came with a replacement for each one of those classics, and as far as I’m concerned the new Windows Vista fonts are far better designed than their predecessors.

A lot of the leading websites nowadays have fixed sizes, made to fit into a 800*600px resolution screen, but this has disadvantages: People with an unusually high resolution, see a tiny website or people with limited visual acuity have problems reading the text. Normally this should not be a problem because all leading browsers have the ability to zoom (Opera even zooms pictures). But, a problem that probably everyone has encountered when zooming a random webpage is the following: The sizes grow unproportionally and in the end you end up with different text fields covering each other. The whole layout is completely messed up! Why is that? Because most of us use pixels to define the sizes of their different boxes and fonts! You can avoid this bad behaviour by using em-Quads for sizes
