Hi, I’m using verdana as the bulk text for my site…

The size it looks best at is 11 (10 is too unreadable, 12 looks too big), however I’ve heard that it is not a good idea to display text sizes on odd numbers…

Do you think it will be okay, or does the rule above only apply to ‘pixel fonts’?

Verdana size 11 looks like the same size the subheading text on the forum index ([http://www.kirupa.com/forum/](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/)) of this site (can anyone confirm the font name / size for me?)

many thanks in advance
