After reading about them and looking them over, I've finally decided to
take the font plunge using [Google
Fonts](http://www.google.com/webfonts#ChoosePlace:select "Google Web Fonts").
The process couldn't be easier, and the results are worth the few
minutes time it takes. What really made the process easy, and fun, was
the new [Font
Combinator](http://font-combinator.com/# "Font Combinator") site. Here
you can choose different fonts and see them in action. After picking and
discarding several combinations of fonts I finally settled on two. Or
three. Okay, seven. After seeing them on my site I was able to narrow
things down to just two. The "Zanshin.net" anchor at the top of each
page is now in
[MedievalSharp](http://www.google.com/webfonts/specimen/MedievalSharp "MedievalSharp"),
and the body and everything else is
[Muli](http://www.google.com/webfonts/specimen/Muli "Muli"). Along with
changing the fonts I've started to fiddle around with the various font
sizes. Hopefully the new font and size arrangement makes things more
pleasing to the eye and more readable. Depending on how your browser
refreshes its cache, you may or may not see the new fonts on your next
visit. A quick Google search on "browser refresh cache" will lead you to
the steps necessary for your browser.
