Perhaps some of us do not like Tahoma?

I personally prefer a serif font for body text -- to me, they are more readable though if you want to argue either side, you'll find multiple studies supporting your point of view.

There are also those who prefer fonts with the 4 most common variants supplied. In the case of Tahoma, you need to play software games to obtain the italic/oblique variants. I find a properly designed italic font to be a better choice.

I won't get into a rant on some of the glyphs in Tahoma -- it's been done elsewhere often enough and by people with far better credentials in typography.
