Set the body font size to 100%, use maybe 85% for legalese, leave
the rest alone except of course something larger for Hx.

Why not specifying no font and font size. Let the visitor deceide
what kind of font and font size they like best to read with there
OS/browser set-up.

Some versions of IE (no surprise) have some kind of bug where they do
not resize text correctly if no size is set. Same thing happens if you
use em for the body font. I read that somewhere.
That's not nice.
Re the font itself? Maybe you'd rather have your site display in a
sans-serif font rather than a default Times New Roman...
It depends on what kind of site you're making. If it's a business, then

it's not okay, or a personal site, then I find it okay.

Arial before Helvetica? That inferior clone? Scandalous! :-o

Thanks for that tip. I changed it to put Helvetica first, and added a
link to that article from my website.

Please can you say why you think it's not ok to use a sans-serif
font for a business site?

Do you think sans-serif is unsuitable or do you think this way the
font is not specified exactly enough?

*Sorry my fault*. I mean it's okay to use font for a business site.

For a personal site I (personally) don't specify any kind of font.

I changed my site to 100%-size Arial (except the
menu) and put a link to that Verdana webpage on my site. Are there any
problems with Arial?

Besides the fact that it's ugly?

What do you recommend instead? Helvetica? I've tried to tell the
difference according to the supposed rules of Helvetica/Arial but they
look nearly identical on my computers (Linux and Windows)... i.e., they
both look like Arial, without the difference in the tail of the "a", "C",
"t", etc.
