Let me add to what John said. Verdana is a w-i-i-d-e font. It is
typically found on most Windows PCs (but not all). It is not found on
Macintosh computers nor Linux PCs. I'm using Ubuntu with no Verdana, and
since you didn't even specify a fall-back generic family, my browser
picked a serif font. An 8pt serif font really is unreadable.
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-family: Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif;
Trebuchet MS is a good-looking normal sized sans-serif font for Windows,
with fall-back to Helvetica, then Arial, then generic sans-serif.
Of course, none of them work at 8pt. Not even Verdana.
