Verdana and the Web
Sunday, 6 January, 2002 @ 11 pm
Verdana is a great san-serif screen font that I encourage the use of. It was funded by Microsoft, but released for free and in fact has been part of Windows and Mac OS releases for some years now.
In summary:
Verdana came with Win98/IE 4, Since 1997
Verdana came with Mac OS 8.5/IE 5, Since 1998
The MS documentation came from here: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/default.asp
The original Knowledge Base article from Apple is in the Read More section.
