Better Helvetica

body {
   font-family: "HelveticaNeue-Light", "Helvetica Neue Light", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;
   font-weight: 300;
}

Might as well use the nicest Helvetica you can…

    Just used this. You never know who has Helvetica Neue installed on their computer!

  4. Good idea to use a font stack that degrades from perfect to zero like this one.

Remember:
  • Be nice.
  • Wrap all code in <pre> and <code> tags. (single or multiple lines) and escape it first (turn <'s into &lt;'s).
  • You may use regular HTML stuff like <a href="">, <em>, and <strong>
