Add Support for New Segoe Font?

It seems like people are making a big deal for something that's only going to affect an extremely small portion of the forum users...

It's either that, or "MacBooks Next Tuesday!!!!!11111" ;)

Seriously, sounds like Clay has his solution for now. :)

But I do have a question. Someone was complaining that if they didn't have Segoe UI, then it would default back to an unsavory font. How does the default back work? Does it default back to the MR forums page standard font (i.e. the one that you see this reply in), or does it default back to the standard font set in your browser? Or something else entirely? If it's the former, then I don't see the problem, since the post will only look as ugly as all the other posts on MR. ;) If it's the latter, then, if people are complaining that they chose an ugly default font in their browser.... ;) Hmmm....

It appears to be defaulting back to Geneva for me. I'm not sure where it's picking Geneva from, when the rest of the site is in Verdana, my default font in Safari is Times, and default fixed-width font is Courier :)eek:).

Geneva is rearing its ugly head out of nowhere! ;)

Hmmm...Geneva...Geneva.... I bet this is the latest machination of Switzermac's plot to buy out Macrumors!!!! :D

Correction: Switzermac bought out MacRumors and has only now begun his wicked scheme of tyrannical font-domination! Do I see Helvetica rounding the horizon? Yes, yes, it has arrived!

Helvetica is the latin name for Switzerland, in case anyone missed that. :-D
