I have been prowling the concrete wilderness for 11 minutes, and 3 seconds. Before that, I was at work.

After disabling bitmap fonts in Debian, the default alternative to Helvetica is Nimbus Sans. As you can see below, its on-screen rendering is ugly. Thankfully, Debian makes it pretty easy to disable Nimbus Sans and make fonts look nicer.

If you can read this text, you're either on a browser that doesn't support CSS or one that supports it badly. You've probably noticed that my layout is a bit choppy and perhaps even ugly. My layout here is designed to work in all browsers that support CSS 1 and 2 and was designed by reading the W3C CSS recommendations. It was tested in the most CSS-compliant browser I know of, Firefox. If you want this page (and others too!) to look nice, I reccomend trying Firefox - it's completely free and can also block those annoying popup ads out-of-the-box.
