I only recently found out about about the speech-mark thing myself so figured I'd pass it on. There is also another point thats been made recently by Jon Hicks about including the postscript and font-family name as webkit browsers like safari need the postscript. If this is something thats grabbing your interest, watch <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/932467" rel="nofollow">Jon's presentation</a> from FOWD this year. Let me know when you get the new project live, be good to see another Rockwell site P.S - Gravatar is just a default one I popped in as a place holder. It's a little plastic jesus, I actually meant to change it but forgot. Think I'm going to use the monkey instead Yep I agree, Lucida Sans is really nice, I quite like Gill Sans too though it’s not as well supported.

I don't have one and I'm a little creeped out by the one sitting next to my name! P.S. What’s with the Gravatar? I don’t have one and I’m a little creeped out by the one sitting next to my name!

Probably because the only time I put in a font in speech marks it was a non-standard one. I'm using Rockwell in a new project; one font that I think is getting trendier is Lucida Sans which I really quite like; it makes a nice alternative when you start getting bored of Arial/Verdana.
