The source Text in Reiser & Wirth's _Programming In Oberon_ has serifs 
and is legible.  But I understand that sans is advantageous on a small 
screen.

I've read advise that font selection should be constrained no more 
than necessary.  That suggests "font-family: sans-serif" or 
"font-family: sans-serif, serif". Also, many or most readers won't 
notice the differences between the various sans fonts.  You specify 
Heletica explicitly in respect of its primacy?
