Century Gothic or Lucida Grande

It seems that the font “Century Gothic” isn’t installed on Mac OS, by default. It is on Windows. When I created the Lick™ stylesheet (in Windows), I’ve put “Verdana” in second position, to replace Century Gothic if it wasn’t found on the user’s hard drive.

But today, I thought:”What if I’d use a font that is commonly found on Mac OS, but not on PC’s?”

Introducing “Lucida Grande“, for Mac users! And if you’re on PC (especially on Windows), well… Introducing nothing new!

And what for users that are on Linux? Does it supports “Century Gothic” and/or “Lucida Grande”? If not, what font would you want to see here?

Are you sure Century Gothic isn’t installed on OS X? I’ve got it on my system anyway…

Oh, that’s cool. Here, at school, it isn’t installed. And it looks damn better with Lucida Grande than Verdana.

For Linux users, don’t bother too much. Just put “Sans” and everything is fine.
Exotic fonts are nice, but you cannot satisfy everybody that way…
After all, what counts is that you blog is easy to read. And I don’t find “Century Gothic” particularly easy..
