Good Fonts in All Browsers via IWP
I know that browsers control the fonts via CSS. My question is, has anyone discovered a font style that looks good across Firefox, Safari and IE.

At the moment, the fonts in FF and Safari looks awesome, but the rendered fonts in IE look sh*t.

RE: Good Fonts in All Browsers via IWP
Can you be more specific about what you mean by "Looks Good" or "Looks Sh*t"?

As is the general rule of thumb with all web design, when using a raw font, keep it simple. IWP is no different. Selecting a fancy font often leads to font substitution on some browsers. We tend to stick to Arial for everything to avoid this problem.

Applying basic formatting, bold, italic, colours etc to it are generally not a problem.

Can it really look that drastically different depending on the browser?
