I can't see the differance apart from Arial's easier to pronounce so I'll carry on using it anyway. :D

If this is such a problem then perhaps we the Arial font on this forum to helvectica.

Funny because I run Linux and the Arial font on my Linux box is nice and smooth, and the Helvetica font looks ugly and blocky.

Microsoft rules.

For some reason, in Deer Park, Helvetica in your post gets rendered as Times.  Which is monstrously different than Arial.
