That’s very true. I think my point wasn’t really to find two similar fonts, rather two fonts that aren’t used as widely on the internet as perhaps they could be. It may be a better idea for me to rewrite the entry offering each font as its own solution rather than a combined solution.

Calibri is considerably smaller than Lucida Grande. For a an almost identical font to Lucida Grande, use Lucida Sans Unicode. They’re really indistinguishable.

Hi Stan, glad to be of assistance! This site currently uses WordPress as a CMS, although I've had to butcher it massively to get it to behave how I wanted.

Nice. I often start with Lucida Grande and Lucida Sans as a fall-back for PC users. It’s nearly identical to Grande and has come installed on Windows since Windows 98.

Grab the whole calibri set here. Once again strictly for testing purposes only of course.

thanks for the excellent tips here — just one detail, you’ve mistakenly linked the lucida-grande.zip to the calibri.zip file

amazing site design btw, love the combination of black with bright colours and the face-based site structure! oh, and congrats on the forthcoming marriage of course, looks like the proverbial match made in heaven ;)

cheers

Nice dude. I have been seeking out a nice PC font for a while now, always try to specify Lucida Grande but the ugly white box fonts always let me down.

Will give your recommendation a try!
