Making mobile specific designs is a kludge. It's like the 'old' days  
of IE or NN specific designs. Go ahead and use funky fonts or what  
not, but be sure it degrades gracefully enough that information can  
be used. 
 
Of course, some sites have a more specific use than general  
information. E.g. a high resolution photo gallery is not meant to be  
useful on a green and black PDA screen (or even a color PDA for that  
matter).
