Curious as to what fonts are the most popular with the tdub masses. Any font from MS word is game.

I've heard that Arial and Verdana are the easiest on the eyes, but my personal choices would be

1. Century Gothic
2. Berlin Sans
3. Georgia


Go.

my favorite font of all time = myriad


second favorite = trebuchet


third favorite = univers


favorite for print docs = either garamond or georgia... or minion, it's basically myriad with serifs
