Much better though it's still a serif font. B-)

That must just be what you have selected as a default in your browser.

Verdana is sans-serif, but if you have not got that, then the browser is
choosing its own.

How does your browser render my home page? (link in sig)

That should also be Verdana, but it has a preference list in its CSS:

..body { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:
12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; color: #000000;
text-align: left}

That should mean a browser will try Verdana, then Arial, then Helvetica,
then anything sans-serif in order of declining preference.

Not much I can do about that only having MS FP.

You could always dive into crafting the pages yourself, they aren't overly
complicated.

The difficulty there is that FP will not leave the code alone - if you
craft it yourself, it starts rewriting stuff for you (badly). That is
why (well one of the reasons why) it is useless for any web development
that has embedded code or tags that you need left alone.

Acording to my web stats about 92% of my visitors use MS browsers, so
I'll have to live with it.

92% of browsers report to be MS. This isn't the same as actually being MS.
Many none MS browsers can be told to lie about what they are to get around
dumb sites that work perfectly well but refuse to play unless lied to...

You can't even guarantee that FP sites look alike on different versions
of MS browsers. Having said that this one is not doing much stuff that
should vary too much between them. If you have a look at the screen shot
I took (http://www.internode.co.uk/temp/browser.gif) you can also see
how the font weights etc vary between Firefox (which renders them
correctly) and IE6 which gets everything too heavy.
