Don’t forget that some people use linux too, and for what I have been reading about, Lucida Grande nor Lucida Sans Unicode exist in Linux, so I think the best to do would be:

font-family: ‘Lucida Grande’, ‘Lucida Sans Unicode’, ‘Verdana’, sans-serif;

I have compared Lucida G. with Verdana, and the are very similar… Although Verdana seems bigger, yet when it comes to height, it is 1px less than Lucida Grande…

I have started on a big web application so have been planning how I will make it look like!

As a web designer Lucinda Grande is unbeatable on a Mac – but most PC uses won’t have the font, so if I set my font to

“Lucida Grande”, “Lucida Sans Unicode”, sans-serif;

PC users will see Lucinda Sans Unicode – its okay but no where as good as Lucinda Grande on a Mac.

This doesn’t seem to be working anymore. I was unable to locate the files and Safari doesn’t seem to know Lucida Grande.

I always wondered why I have Lucida Grande on my Vista, and hoped that everyone using Vista had it, too.
Sadly enough, I found by reading this article that Safari brings the font with it.
Why browser/OS/font compatibility is always about bad news? :) I don’t remember any recent reason for cross-browser happiness except for IE5.x going under 1%.

Did you prefer the font Andalus in Windows XP?

I personally like Lucida Grande, but I also prefer Monaco.

I personally don’t like Lucida Grande, although if you go to the Windows spectrum and look at Segoe UI or Calibri, those are nice looking fonts.

Looks the same as Trebuchet MS for Windows. A little lighter, maybe.

Pablo,

Safari uses different font rendering technology to any Windows application. Firefox also uses something different again, as far as I know.

All MS applications use the same (Windows) font rendering.

I am loving safari for windows. I was unable to read Pablo’s comments… that color combination is too bright and unreadable, I tried to read but I could only see straight lines and they seemed to move :S I am using an LCD screen

Ben: I happen to think the font looks great in Firefox. This also makes it available system wide, including things like photoshop and word which might be useful for some people. It appears to my (untrained) eye that safari in windows uses the same font rendering engine as the rest of the applications(firefox, IE, etc) so there is no reason to believe safari would do a better job over those two.

But why do this? So that IE and Firefox can also render text in Lucida Grande, but do an awful job of it?

Too bad Helvetica wasn’t also shipped with Safari for Windows.
