But since most of us show our work almost exclusively on the web I'd say your statement is completely invalid for this discussion. If this were a board full of printers and publishers what you say would fly a lot further I suppose, but we're mostly all webmasters here. Anyone working in design that is specifically done for the web (and thus seen only on computers) should have no problem at all with several of the standard fonts like Amp and other designers have mentioned... Arial, helvetica, impact, TNR, verdana etc.
