[Serna] Default font in Serna 4 (RC 2)

Folks;

We've run across an interesting problem at my company. For Windows
installations, Serna style sheets for the WYSIWYG window use Helvetica as the
default font. Of course, Helvetica is not a standard font on Windows systems, so
somewhere in the system (haven't figured out where) a substitution is carried
out (probably to Arial).

That's all fine and good if a user doesn't have a Helvetica font package
installed. But in our case, many users have an old, non-unicode, Helvetica
package installed. Because of this, characters such as Greek symbols aren't
displayed properly, nor do all of the glyphs show up in the Insert Symbol...
dialog box.

Would anyone have a huge problem if Syntext were to update the default Serna
style sheets to specify Arial as the default font (at least for Windows
installs)? On all recent versions of Windows, an OpenType (unicode) Arial
package is included in the base installation.

Regards,
Bob
