Actually, I'm fairly certain that a majority of people find proportionally-spaced fonts easier to read for paragraphs of text (though not for source code, for example). That's true for print, and I doubt that it's different on the Web.
Bjarne Stroustrup printed "The C++ Programming Language" in proportionally-spaced fonts even for the source code, because he thought it was easier to read.

That's a good example! I meant to say: not *necessarily* for source code; e.g. I usually use a proportional font for source. -- Cheers, Scott S. Lawton http://Classicosm.com/ - classic books http://ProductArchitect.com/ - consulting
