This is a pretty trivial question, but it's been bugging me. What is the accepted pronunciation of "Arial"? There's a list on the web that tells you how to pronounce the easy fonts (like Benguiat), but it leaves out Arial. Is it pronounced aerial, ah-re-al, arr- (as in "arrow") re-al, or something else again? 

Cheers, Dominic
