Isn't Zeta Sans <=> Bitstream's Vera Sans, though?  Verdana's fairly
similar, I guess.

Why's it broken? For headings a sans-serif font is good, and I do know
I've read a thorough explanation as to why you can have it there. Alas I
cannot remember more than the conclusion.

It's a broken Geneva just like Arial is a broken Helvetica. Compare it with other similar typefaces at the same size it's neearly 100% wider :-( Microsoft doesn't like paying licence fees and will do anything to avoid them. Just study the typeface in different sizes and see how it doesn't work. Currently very much into Lucida but there are so many excellent typefaces to choose from.
