For example, "Lucida Console" is a very attractive and readable

Courier for everything requiring monospaced text. I *think* that
the equivalent Mac font is "Monaco" -- but I'm not sure.

Close enough. Few people are going to put a Mac right next
to a PC just to criticize your web pages.

I almost always says "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode",
Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif

Almost everyone has one of the first two.

After the christening of his baby brother in church, Jason sobbed
all the way home in the back seat of the car. His father asked him
three times what was wrong. Finally, the boy replied, "That preacher
said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home, and I wanted to
stay with you guys."
