What font and font size is being used for the headlines under "Latest News" (one screen down, on the right side of the page)? I tried looking for the CSS, but I had a hell of a time finding anything among all the garbled commands they're using.
Thanks.Hi there duderdude2,

Actually, the forum uses Verdana as its main font, with Arial and Helvetica as backup fonts for the main content. If your page is showing Tahoma, then you don't have Verdana, Arial, or Helvetica, and Tahoma is your browser's choice for san-serif fonts.Great thanks guys.
Only one problem. As you'll see on this test page, when I entered the variables coothead described, it looks close, but not exact:

The font looks slightly better on their page than mine. Why is that?That's because the headline on ign.com is text inside a Flash object. Flash automatically anti-aliases text, which makes it look smoother. Many browsers don't automatically anti-alias text. In Windows, that's controlled via OS settings in the Display Control Panel. Safari and Omniweb on MacOS X were among the first to encorporate browser-level text anti-aliasing.
You pretty much have to put-up or shut-up with text anti-aliasing in browsers

Ahh, ok, that's no problem. It's so close anyway.

To answer a question that isn't your main question, but...if you view>source you will see there style info is part of the page. It is enclosed in the <style> tag, just below the <title> tag.
body, td { font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica; font-size: 11px; }
You can see the font choices for all body elements listed in the second line of their style sheet (which someone already noted, but now you know where to look at least for this part of your query).
