== "Standard" skin? ==

Various Help comments refer to a "standard skin", yet when one looks at the skin options in preferences none is labelled "standard" -- so what is going on here?

The reason I was looking at preferences in the first place is that, unless I am just imagining things, the elegant Verdana typeface which was formerly used seems to have been changed at some point in the last few days -- and without so much as a "by your leave" -- to thin and nasty Ariel, and it seems there's not a darned thing I can do about it.  :-(   -- [[User:Picapica|Picapica]] 14:47, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

:Classic has been called standard for some time, please change Standard into Classic in help pages.--[[User:Patrick|Patrick]] 21:32, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

::You can create or edit your personal style sheet at [[User:Picapica/monobook.css]].  See [[m:Help:User style]] for more details on how.  If you copy this text into that file, it should give you Verdana as first preference:

 #content {
 font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
 }

:::Way to go, Catherine! I've been whimpering silently for weeks about the Arial font in articles, gurgling "Verdana...Vardana..." Your advice works and my eyes thank you.[[User:NathanHawking|NathanHawking]] 22:15, 2004 Sep 30 (UTC)
