What answer should we give WCS with regards to putting non-ugly Arial
fonts into infoagents?
I'd somehow evolved the impression that with regards to Arial, Microsoft
and Linux evolved a toxic divergence with regards to this font such that
only Explorer would ever be able to get this right.

Hi Bill,
Alex Prengal suggested I contact you after I asked him a question about
available fonts for the Mozilla browser on Athena. This question of fonts
arose in a Web Communications Services (WCS) meeting. The majority of the
Web sites being designed for our MIT clients are using Verdana, Arial or
another sans-serif font. We are constantly reminding them to add a
sans-serif font that is available on Athena to their style sheets. Is it
possible to add Verdana, Arial or both to the fonts available on
Athena? If so, how do we go about adding those?
If there is someone else I should be asking this question to, please let me
know.
Thanks in advance for your help.
-Jeff
