That's usually sufficient for me. I might change the font-family to monospace so that the reader/apps default monospaced font is used, but that's about the extent of it.

I'm actually with Diap and Cyb on this--as long as I can distinguish it, I'm happy. But we do have clients that get VERY upset if a handwriting font isn't used, etc. Thus, we have all the guidelines, and a list of reliable fonts. {sigh}.
