I'm not a CSS expert, but I think that means:
Make the default size 80% of what would be the normal size.
By default, use Lucida Grande for the font.
If that's not there, use Verdana.
If that's not there, use Lucida.
If that's not there, use Helvetica.
If that's not there, use Arial.
If that's not there, use whatever generic sans-serif font is available (as
determined by the browser).
font: 100% sans-serif , Verdana, Lucida, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
And this one means:
Make the default size 100% of what would be the normal size (making this
part redundant)
Be default, use the generic sans-serif font.
The other lines don't matter, 'cause there will always be a generic
sans-serif font.
So the root problem is either the 80% size or one of the alternate fonts
doesn't look good. If it's the size, I'm pretty sure you can set the browser
to have a minimum font size.
