Added... but...
those aren't the actual CSS font families, are they?
I put in times-new-roman for Times New Roman, as an example. If they aren't correct, let me know.

Results:
Georgia works as expected. Times and Times New Roman produce the same thing (Times). Trebuchet doesn't change the font.
Hmm...
Wonder why Georgia would work and Trebuchet not?

Re: Results:
No idea. If you can figure out what the font family is, let me know.
It gets placed in the .css stuff at the top of every page (view source for details). I think that's the only place I use font families... let me know if I missed one somewhere.

Re: Results:
body { font-size: 100%; font-family: times new roman; }
td { font-size: 90%; font-family: times new roman; }
That works for Times New Roman. This works for Trebuchet:
body { font-size: 100%; font-family: trebuchet ms; }
td { font-size: 90%; font-family: trebuchet ms; }
(I obviously forgot the trailing "MS". Doh.)

Garamond
I've got one beef with it -- there seem to be some extended characters which don't render properly. Other than that, I was trying several other fonts, including New Century Schoolbook, Verdana, Times, and several others. Garamond to my eye is the best proportioned proportional, serifed font for online reading. To the extent that failure to render a small handful of characters is acceptable.
