I actually had that fixed and then went and updated my copy of the theme and overwrote my changes. I forgot to mention it in the article that it was the more elegant solution and appreciate you pointing that out. Hopefully my blog doesn't hurt your eyes any more. Thanks again for the tip.

You should change your CSS file for the theme to reflect as such: font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande", Tahoma, Verdana, etc etc" This will enforce the font Lucida Sans Unicode for all those who do not have Lucida Grande (like most, if not all, standard Windows users) and force Lucida Grande for those on Macintosh. Lucida Sans Unicode looks almost identical to Grande, so you get the best of both worlds. I am on my Windows machine and it hurts to read your site :-( While that solution will work for viewing your site locally (on that computer only), that doesnt help the rest of us…like me.
