Alpha is following an example I set before him, except I (hope I) spelt
"helvectia" better, and put arial first. Nowadays, I would use...

    <font face="verdana,helvetica,sans-serif">

...since arial gets subbed for helvetica on most machines that don't have it,
and sans-serif is a catch-all for the vanishingly few remaining machines that
have neither.
