The use of Cooper Black in conjunction with so many other fonts makes the
Firebird page look awkward and unprofessional. Two of the two friends of mine
I've talked to about this agree. Cooper Black almost always looks awkward and
dumb, in my opinion, but reducing the number of fonts on the page would improve
the site as well. There is currently a pretty big number of fonts used:

1. "mozilla" in logo
2. "FIREBIRD" in logo
3. Cooper Black
4. "mozilla" in download box (only on front page)
5. Arial in download select box
6. Verdana for feature list, rest of page text

I think this should be trimmed down to use maybe two or three fonts, and I think
the use of Cooper Black should be eliminated. (The two friends agree that Cooper
Black looks bad on the page.)

I found a seventh font: the NOW text. It looks like it might be the same font as
FIREBIRD, but without the fire effects applied.
