HTML: WEB typography

[Shawn J.P. West (BlackSheep)]

how is is short-sighted if you include Verdana, Arial, sans-serif? I am
not saying use these as the cornerstone but that they are there in some
cases and you have an option to take or not take this into account.

Is it good design to consider what somone has or bad design to ignore them
because they may have it?
