Hello, Forum!

I'm new to the forum, and a new mac user to boot, so please don't flog me if the answer to this question is glaringly obvious!

Anyway, my question concerns changing the font setting in Safari. I have the 12" ibook. I generally like Safari , but the default font was a little taxing on the eyes, considering I spend a lot of time on nytimes.com. I downloaded OmniWeb, and while I wasn't crazy about the browser (or about eventually having to pay), I really liked its font setting.

So I changed the font in Safari to Lucida Grande (the font in OmniWeb). However, does anyone know the "specifics" of the Lucida Grande font in OmniWeb? I think I picked same font-size in Safari, but in Safari the font seems less "condensed" than it does in OmniWeb -- ie, there seems to be more whitespace between the characters even though the characters are the same point-size. Can anyone tell me how to get this more "condensed" font in Safari?

Thanks so much, all -- and please let me know if I haven't been specific enough in my question or if you need more information!
