A comparison of the readability of various web safe fonts and sizes. Created by Xara Web Designer      © Charles Moir Lucida Sans Unicode is clearly a more up-to-date version of Lucida Sans. As its Unicode name suggests it has a far larger international character set. But it only has one flavour - there is no bold, no italic and no bold-italic, which greatly restricts what you can do with it. Some browsers will create a (poor quality) artificial slanted or heavier versions, but software such as Xara or Adobe will not render or fake these missing variants. Its outline shapes are identical to its sibling Lucida Sans, but it has far greater default line spacing, so for this page I’ve had to reduce the line spacing. This section has just 100% line spacing, but it appears greater the 135% line spacing of Lucida Sans page. So the default line spacing of this fault is suspiciously large. Despite the outline shapes being the same, the 12px size screen version of the Unicode version bears no resemblance to the standard Lucida Sans 12px - they appear completely different sizes. This demonstrates just how much the ClearType pixel hinting can distort a font. Despite the aberrant 12pix size, the ClearType pixel hinting on Windows at small sizes is generally better resulting in higher quality Lucida Unicode fonts - compare the examples on this page to the equivalent on the Lucida Sans  page. (This is 12pix Lucida Unicode Sans.) Lucida Sans Unicode is a web safe font and is included as part of Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. If you use a fall back font of ‘Lucida Grande’ then this will also be compatible with Macs using OS X (it’s the standard system font on OS X). Linux and the iPhone do not have this font and so you are advised to have an additional sans-serif fall back. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
