The problem here is that if the reader does not have Verdana, he gets text which is smaller and less legible than preferred, as this sentence probably appears to you (though it depends somewhat on browser details). The other is that the author specifies something like font-size: 85% to bring the font size back down to about the normal size of Arial.That results in text like this (assuming you have Verdana installed), which looks, for most people, unnecessarily large and unattractive.

One is that the author conforms to general best practise, and leaves the font at the default size.

What effect does using Verdana have on a web page? Well, there are two possibilities. The reason for this is that Verdana was originally developed to be legible when very small font sizes were imposed. This is particularly so in comparison to Times New Roman, which is a common browser default font. A user selects a font from the fontselect toolbar menu.Note how much bigger Verdana is than the others, even though the point size is the same. Depending on the editor configuration, users can select a font from the menubar or the toolbar (via the fontselect dropdown). TinyMCE comes with 17 font options by default.
