Georgia is a beautiful font which suits some pages, but you will have to
specify alternatives. I have checked some of my pages to see the font
definitions:

Try:

font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;

or:

font: 160% Georgia, Arial, Serif;

These should look /relatively/ consistent.
