font sizes on new website

[Erin Yu]

+1 for Verdana.

The font size issue was more apparent when I viewed the site from my  
laptop (13" 1280x800) ...
Verdana is a great suggestion, it's clean and improves readability.

I'm redesigning the home page so that it can be stretched with  
different news item (currently confined to the "flap" images). The  
mockup uses Verdana as well (with optional Fluid flower background)  
and can be seen here: http://wiki.fluidproject.org/download/attachments/5898344/FluidSite-Home2.png
