    I hate looking at serifed fonts on a monitor. Gotta be sans-serif all the way for tubes and LCDs.

    so, font geeks, what's your favorite sans-serif for viewing web pages?

    I'm embarrassed to admit I'm using "Arial" for variable-width, but I'm pretty happy with "Lucida Console" for fixed-with stuff.

    Micros~1 has crappy built-in fonts.

    I have no problem going with the default browser settings for fonts. Arial, etc.

    But when it comes to making my dinky webpages I like to use TAHOMA. There's something about its slight stretch that makes it a good bold font.

    Otherwise, boring old Arial works fine.

    I used Trebuchant for most everything or VAG Rounded or Verdana. Those are my fav's for reading.

    Does anyone know a good website for downloading cool fonts? I like to spice up my computer when I get really bored. Which is usually when I am procrastinating. Which is all the time. [​IMG]
    So if you know I would really appreciate it. [​IMG]

    I almost always use for Verdana for webpages but I also like Arial Rounded MT Bold for titles.
