Easily request yes. Easily done, no. There are situations where stock X
must be installed, precluding a complete change, or modification os said
software.

It is NOT my opinion. It is a well known problem with HMTL and all reliable
instructors of HTML coding and design will tell you such. Like I said, it
is how I LEARNED to do it RIGHT.

Excuse me, but to have your page appear on a user's screen with the Verdana
font, the font must be downloaded and installed, or X modified and the font
installed, before you page will appear with said font.

That is unfortunate that you think so little of the viewers of you page,
so that if the don't have verdana on their system they are stuck looking
at you page in Courier. If you want to be so conceited about this, so
be it. But if you lose web viewers because they can't read your page,
because of the ugly courier font, so be it.

Obviously it won't do any good, since you are so dead set against making
your pages viewable by EVERYONE who visits.
