   Hahaha, if I didn’t know better, I’d say that’s sheer frustration talking out of ya :)

   It’ll pass, just sit down, put your oxygen mask on and breathe deeply

   Or turn that cleartype off, it’s not that fat when you do it.

   @Mislav: Trebuchet at 12px or less is hard to read, especially in Croatian (with our speciffic character pairs, for example the “ij” pair).

   See how Georgia and Trebuchet are rendered.

   Glad to see someone who also agrees that Georgia is far easier to read than Times (New Roman) or other characters with ‘swirly’ ends.

   I started using Georgia a few months ago because of the interesting styling – and because I also found other fonts difficult to read at smaller resolutions.

   BTW, Your site is an admirable design, and an inspiration.

   I know what you mean. Especially in conjunction with form elements, or line-height adjustments. Ugh.

   All succeeding projects, i’m sticking with the Lucida family. :)
