This isn't necessarily true. Even though I think it's an ugly, flawed
font, I've had to use Arial on occasion because the letters widths
are tighter than Verdana (a much much better font, esp. for screen
resolution), which makes it easier to fit words into dense tables
when presenting a lot of information. Until we can properly embed
fonts in CSS, in XHTML we're stuck with the 10 or so standard fonts
that most people have installed. It was really my only choice.
