AdSense Ads = Verdana Font?

I thought it was limited to Arial?

I have run across a few ads by google now that are being displayed in the verdana font - looks very similiar to YPN ads. Anyone know how to change the font on AdSense Ads?

I don't think there is any way to change the font.

Any idea why I'm seeing verdana font? Sticky me for the url, if you want.

I should add that it would be awesome to figure out how they did it; would fit in with some of my verdana-based sites. ;-) Although I think TOS suggests that you cannot change the code in ANY way... Wonder how this ties in?

Been snooping around the code a little bit, and I found that while most people's AdSense calls the following script:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">

He has saved the script locally, to his server.

<SCRIPT src="http://domain.com/js/show_ads.js">

I have a feeling that because the script is being loaded locally, it is somehow picking up on his CSS for whatever reason.

Does anybody know if this violates Googles TOS of altering code?

Customization like this is available only to bigger publishers on invite basis.

This sounds like a violation of the TOS.
