the right half of your screen is completely blank.

No, it isn't. Oh, you mean if I let the window fill the screen.

Tahoma not meant for body font use

On: Slashdot CSS Redesign Winner Announced

Tahoma as primary body font is a disastrous choice, particularly on CRT screens. The letters are generally spaced so narrowly that words are hard to read, particularly between letters like i and l ("million"). And there is no italic, so the normal weight gets forcibly slanted. Tahoma is intended for use in dialog boxes and menus, not body text and headlines.
