Holy crap, duh, I didn't realize I could do that.... lmao... thanks.... 
This brings me to another point, if I never put two and two together 
what makes you thing normal people will? This is the major reasons why 
you hard code the font-family into your docs. here's the one I use most 
of the time:

font-family: Verdana, "Bitstream Vera Sans", Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, 
sans-serif;

cross-posting?, is this thread still active on advocacy?
The freebsd listbot unsubscribed me from all maillists because my mail 
server (that I have no control over) bounces everything coming from 
mx1.freebsd.org, It was blacklisted on SORBS. I'm procrastinating the 
switch over to my gmail account, so far I've only resubscribed to questions.

Anyways thanks for the tip. slashdot et al. look %100 better now
