Comment (by chexee):

 What about adding a substitute Linux font at the top of the font stack.
 Its likely that Windows and Mac systems won't have it installed and will
 fall back to Lucida.

 There's a list of similar fonts here: http://mondaybynoon.com/2007/04/02
 /linux-font-equivalents-to-popular-web-typefaces/ I'm a fan of Loma or
 Garuda.

 I don't think we should sacrifice the design/readability of specific fonts
 on different platforms for cross-platform consistency.  Each platform
 renders type differently and if that means choosing a different type for
 each platform to get the most readability out of them, so be it.
